LUDHIANA: The municipal corporation will now clamp down on illegal water provide and sewerage connections.
“The defaulters can be given per week to get their illegal connections regularised from the date of challan. Else, the connections can be snapped and a case can be registered towards them for destructive public property. Besides connection fees, they are going to need to pay pending bills of the previous three years,” mentioned MC superintending engineer Rajinder Singh.
The cash-strapped civic body will soon get started the drive that objectives at generating income.
The drive will run in conjunction with its survey of illegal submersible pumps. “When we started the survey in April, we had estimated to locate 2,000 to a few,000 illegal submersible pump connections. But until date, we have now discovered about 11,500. We have recovered Rs 4.65 crore from round 2,000 illegal submersible pump defaulters. In the case of illegal water provide and sewerage connections, we think to get well crores of rupees from over a lakh defaulters,” mentioned an MC authentic.
Against four lakh properties in the town, there are over 2.five lakh water connections and a couple of.15 lakh sewerage connections. Other than a couple of vacant plots, the connections of the remainder properties will now be counted as illegal. “The illegal connections not only motive monetary loss to the MC, but also lead to a number of illnesses as sewerage begins getting combined with consuming water. Some of the residents, especially those in the outer edge, rent private plumbers and take water connection from anyplace, which regularly leads to leakages,” the MC authentic added.
Even as MC closing 12 months gave a possibility to defaulters to get their water provide and sewerage connections regularised, not many got here forward beneath the scheme.
