Pay charges irrespective of water usage in Chennai
The Madras High Court has passed a rule that every consumer has to pay the water bill. It does not matter whether they consume water or not.
According to the court orders, people who fetch water, who has a sewerage connection by the Board is a ‘consumer’. Therefore according to the rule every customer has to pay water bill!
A division bench of Madras High Court yield this order against a petition by the residents of an apartment.
As for now there is no clear titles with the usage and non usage of water. However, any Chennai apartment residents who own service connection will have to pay the bill.
