Port Blair, Feb 02: Water is the most precious gift of the nature but its availability especially in these islands is limited. The PBMC today said in a press release that it has been observed that many of the water connections do not have float valve which results into overflow and wastage of water.
“The section-41 of the PBMC Water Bye-Laws-2015 provide that every connection must have float valve at the end point of discharge mouth for control on over flow/waste of water, it is mandatory or else the connection will be disconnected. Further as per section-35 of the Bye-Laws provide for fine of Rs. 50/- and in case of further continuing breach with further fine of Rs. 5/- for every subsequent day during which the breach continues. To ensure that there is no wastage of water within the Municipal Limits, an inspection drive will be undertaken shortly to see whether float valves have been provided in the water connections. All the consumers are requested to get float valve installed in all their water connections so that there is no wastage of water,” the release said.
