Delhi govt to launch one-time settlement scheme to clear water bill arrears

The CM said there were 27.6 lakh domestic water consumers in Delhi. Of these, about 11.7 lakh bills had arrears and had not been submitted. The arrears are to the tune of Rs 5,737 crore, he added. The scheme will be divided into two subheads – one will cover those with two or more correct readings and the other bill will cover those with one or no correct meter reading.

Update on December 10, 2021

Delhi Jal Board sets up new billing system

According to the new water consumption rules introduced by the Delhi Jal Board, consumers cannot be charged more than 1.5 times the amount of the bill in the previous month. As per officials, an automatic system has been implemented to self-regulate the meter reader’s tablet when the consumption variance becomes 50 per cent higher or lower than the previous month’s bill.  Aimed to curb erroneous reading bills, the new system is expected to boost the revenue management system of the board. Further, to keep a check on the water billing system, revenue officers will be carrying out random meter reading image audits. The meter inspector officials will personally visit the site to recheck the images of the meter readings for ensuring the readings are incorrect. In case of discreopancies, they will take strict action against the concerned meter readers. Under the new system, meter readers will be changed every billing cycle. The new rotation system for meter reading in the city is expected to make the billing system stronger and transparent.
