Delhi CM  Arvind Kejriwal addressing Press Conference on Water issue.

Delhi had primitive infrastructure before 2015- Only 58% of colonies had water pipelines, while the rest had supply through tankers. After 70 years of independence, only half of Delhi had piped water. Today we have covered 93% of Delhi. We have increased the production of water by 14% in 5 years by activating many WTPs. Many projects for further increase in capacity are underway. On leakages and water theft, "We have installed flowmeters on a large scale to put an end to illegal theft and leakages. We are bringing this water into the system to streamline and improve the supply of water. Before 2015, Delhi used to have an expensive water supply, but DJB's revenues were constantly declining. In 2014-15 the revenue was just ₹1219 crores. Today the revenues stand ar ₹1819 crores," said CM, "The number of metered connections have increased by 25% since 2014-15 from 19 lakh to 23 lakh. This has brought people into the system and increased revenues for DJB"."Today we are announcing a scheme to waive arrears to clean up the DJB's books. Some of these arrears are due to consumers but some are also due to incorrect billing." "This is an open invitation to the people of Delhi to join the mainstream and install water meters. Only those consumers who have installed meters before 30 Nov will get the benefit of this scheme."For different levels of housing, there is a waiver of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. Consumers will get the waiver only when they pay the rest of the bills in up to 3 installments. DJB expects to recover ₹600 crores revenue through this scheme. The Delhi govt is fixing the root cause of compounding arrears that lie in the DJB's inefficiency and faulty billing. This could, therefore, be the last such scheme. This is a big difference between this and previous schemes. 

पहले दिल्ली में पानी का बिल आता था, पानी नहीं

अब दिल्ली में पानी आता है, बिल नहीं

अगले 5 साल में दिल्ली के हर घर को 24 घंटे साफ़ पीने का पानी मिलेगा। https://t.co/3K6w7hWmeE

Delhi's transformation in the water sector is remarkable. Despite making lifeline water free, revenues have grown by 1.5 times and theft has been plugged to a large extent through flowmeters. Delhi has set a precedent for the entire country! pic.twitter.com/00GjdDIWbm
