Rajasthan government will impose fines who misuse water; water connections will be cut on contempt

The responsibility to stop the wastage of this precious resource has been assigned to junior engineers by the department. Junior engineers will have to prevent the misuse of water by regularly monitoring the areas under their charge. A separate connection will have to be taken for commercial work.

It has come to the notice of the Water Supply Department officials that many people running businesses, such as restaurant operators and marriage hall owners, are utilizing domestic connections for commercial work.
Exasperated by incessant complaints, the Water Supply Department's Administrative Secretary Samit Sharma has issued an order to stop the misuse of water. Notices to this effect will be served on those found misusing domestic water connections for commercial purposes, and necessary action will be taken under the Rajasthan Water Supply and Sewerage Corporation Act, 1979.
