Infrastructure charges will add to water bill next year by Delhi JAL Board for failure to provide adequate Water Supply to Consumer - Because Poor Consumer has made it on arrangement at higher price.

Along with the 10% annual hike in water tariff that would be effective from January 1, Delhi Jal Board (DJB) consumers are set to pay more in terms of infrastructure charges for planned colonies and water and sewer development charges for unauthorised-regularised colonies.

From 2013, for a family consuming up to 20 kilolitres (20,000 litres) of water per month, the bill that was around Rs.241.90 per month (billing cycle is bi-monthly) is set to increase to about Rs.260 per month or more depending on the consumption. Similarly, for families consuming 30 kilolitres per month, the bill is set to increase from about R1,075 to approximately R1,200. Most planned colonies in Delhi fall into these two categories with few consuming more than 30 kilolitres per month.

Following the notification of the Delhi Water and Sewer (Tariff and Metering Regulation), 2012, the DJB will now also be charging consumers for additional sewer generation if they have sources other than the DJB’s, such as tankers and ground water. “The DJB considers 80% of water supplied turns into sewer. However, we levy only 60% of charges of volumetric consumption,” said a senior DJB official.

Most of the consumers in south Delhi colonies with plot/property size 200 sq metres or more — especially those who have bore well connections apart from the DJB’s — will now be charged with infrastructure charges for loading additional burden on the system by excess consumption. The infrastructure charges are Rs.30 per litre.

The policy has already been notified and applicable to all existing and new consumers. “The infrastructure charge has been introduced owing to the increasing demand for water,” said Debashree Mukherjee, the water utility’s CEO.

Charge extra BUT 1st Give us our Safe Drinking WATER
For Water Charges also need a proper Commission in the line fo Regulatory Authority.
More than charging the customers or home users the DJB should charge HEAVY price on people who put SEWER Connection on DRAIN, Polluted waster water to Drain and Sewer line and then Blame YAMNUNA GANDA HEY..
Then spend crore on cleaning the yamanu.. Dont clean Yamuna.. clearn your system and firm on those genertors of pollutants. If from my flats 100 litere waste water comes charge me, I must be ready to pay the price for that. Ofcourse the DJB or Govt find it easy to target residence like us not the those create.
Look at Ramphal Chowk , how many vehicle Service people ... all dump oil and wast on the drain ..All are equally responsible. DDA have service sector in Sector 20 but not alloted for its purpose resulted in Ramphal Chowk low cost maintenance for all of us and we get our car washed or serviced their and adding to more pollution
