As per report ‘If the consumer has not paid the bill for two to five years, then the two correct bills received during this period will be considered correct. After calculating its average, the bill for the remaining months will be taken on the same basis’.

Perhaps this is neighborhood policy. If someone does not have a water meter, then in that case an average bill of one month will be charged from a house of the same size in his street. After this, his bill will be collected on the same basis. If someone's average bill is 20 thousand litres, then his entire bill will be waived off. Whereas in case of excess, the remaining bill will be taken after excluding penalty and interest. With this, the Water Board will also start receiving water bills of 10.50 lakh consumers.
