Washage Worriesludhiana: The purpose of the water meter installation project, which has not taken off, is to maintain a waste of water.
But with the government announcing flat rates for consumers over 125 square meters of houses, residents can dispose of water, thus affecting ground water tables, which are thinning at fast speed.
In 2016, the water meter policy was adopted at the MC General House, but could not be implemented until now because the SAD-BJP government was then postponed due to the election of the Assembly.
Even after the establishment of the Congress government, it could not start.
Civil bodies have planned canal-based water supply for occupants and jobs for installation of water treatment plants will begin first.
This project is funded by the World Bank on the condition that the MC installs water meters and the bill is issued to read.
Instead of starting work, the government has made an announcement.
The civil body that starving funds spends around RS 135 Crore every year at the water supply and sewerage system, but only recovered Rs 34 Crore to Rs 35 Crore.
On the treatment of every 1,000 liters of water, RS 40.
Officials claim whether water consumption is increasing, as well as maintenance costs.
However, MC officers lipwardly skilled now.
Senior Deputy Mayor of Shyam Sunder Malhotra said, “Work on water meters and canal-based water supply continues and will be given to the population.
If the government has cleared contributions, it will find a way to implement other things too.
I will beg public to not Dispose of ground water even if it is provided at a nominal level.
