Excess Billing of WATER BILL

Water Bill excess billing

For last 3 to 4 months we observed that suddenly our water bill rises many folds from ₹. Nil per months toto ₹1050 to ₹1500/-

We suddenly realised that our water bill is exceeding electricity charges.

There could be Two possible causes:-
(1) Water usage increases more than 20K litters a month which is beyond exemption or
(2)Water meters are running fast.

In the first case of more consumption,reduce the water wastages due overflowing and if no overflow then reduce consumption.

Secondly,For fast meters,we have to send our Water Meter to DJB for Lab test.

Lab test charges  are ₹150/- per meter and to be paid at cash counter in Dwarka DJB office Sector-5

For this we have to pay the current bill of DJB.Application for testing the Water meter is to be submitted alongwith the current bill and Lab test Fee.

Once it is submitted,DJB Takes 7 working days to collect W/Meter and its Lab test.

If the test result is between 3 to 5% then it's ok; beyond that your bill will be refunded/adjusted.

So if residents want that this issue is to be taken up jointly then submit the copies of bill,application and Lab test fee at GUARD ROOM so that we can request DJB to take up this issue.
