Parvesh Verma Asks Officials To Revise Water Connection Charges
March 14, 2025
|The Morning Standard
The Delhi government has uncovered a deeply entrenched corrupt system surrounding the provision of new water connections.
During a review meeting with staff from the Delhi Jal Board (DJB), Water Minister Parvesh Verma revealed that the high area-based water connection charges were discouraging residents from obtaining legal connections. As a result, many continue to consume water without a valid connection.
Verma has directed his officers to revise the fees in order to encourage more residents to apply for authorized connections, thereby reducing corruption.
He pointed out that while Delhi has over 50 lakh electricity connections, only around 20 lakh water connections are in place, highlighting the widespread issue of unauthorized water usage.
