Gmada to impose hefty fines for water wastage until July 30

1 2 3 Mohali: In view of the anticipated water shortage during the peak summer months, the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (Gmada) has announced stringent measures to curb water wastage. The authority will impose hefty fines on residents found misusing water until July 30. Similar ban has also been imposed by Mohali municipal corporation. To ensure the uninterrupted supply of clean and safe drinking water, Gmada has banned several water-wasting practices and appealed for public cooperation. Residents are urged to strictly follow the restrictions or face strict penalties. As per the new guidelines, watering of lawns or flowerpots is allowed only after 5 pm and strictly from overhead tanks — not from direct supply. Use of pipes directly connected to taps for washing vehicles, cleaning courtyards, balconies, floors, or roads is strictly prohibited. The use of pressure Tullu pumps attached directly to pipelines has also been banned. Also, leaks from the pipeline, ferrule to meter, must be repaired immediately. Overflow from terrace tanks or desert coolers will not be tolerated. Any other form of water wastage, intentional or otherwise, will also be subject to penalties. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Gmada reiterated its commitment to providing quality drinking water with optimal pressure but emphasised that it cannot be sustained without the cooperation of the public.
