Water wastage complaint
1 week ago
I live in Faridabad, Haryana.
My roof was heavily damaged for years because the first-floor neighbor purposely kept their water tank overflowing for hours. I have dozens of CCTV footage dating back to the year 2021 where their water tank is clearly overflowing.
How do we make complaints about water wastage with the Municipal Corporation of Faridabad or other appropriate body in Haryana, Faridabad? Explain the procedure.
A.Dear Client,
Submit a written complaint along with video evidence to the relevant Municipal Authority regarding your neighbor's negligent and intentional waste of water, highlighting the potential water crisis faced by other residents in the building. Citing the notification issued by the Central Ground Water Authority (CGWA) under the Ministry of Jal Shakti in 2020, under Section 5 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, and following the directive of the National Green Tribunal, emphasize that wastage or misuse of potable underground water resources is prohibited. Failure to comply with this notification can result in imprisonment for up to five years, a fine of up to Rs 1 lakh, or both, as per Section 15 of the Act. Additionally, continuous failure or contravention may incur an additional fine of up to Rs 5,000 per day after the initial conviction.
