242 litres a day consumed by an individual household in Ahmedabad, indicating large wastage.
AHMEDABAD: That decade-old promise now sounds all too familiar, ‘Metered 24 x 7 water supply soon’. But strangely, not a fraction of that ambitious project has materialized. Firstly, the AMC is yet to formulate a policy for metered water supply!
“In fact, for a decade there was a complete absence of political will to even formulate a metered water policy, without which a 24 x 7 supply is not possible. Individual residents may be forced to pay as they consume water,” said a senior AMC official. Though the AMC claims that an average Amdavadi gets 183 litres a day. In reality, an Amdavadi consumes more, it is 242 litres a day consumed by an individual household, indicating large wastage.
