Delhi Jal Board — False meter reading

Address:New Delhi, Delhi

Sir, I am staying in L-70A Saket on rent basis."Maliviya Nagar Water Services, Saket is working on behalf of "Delhi Jal Board" in my area and involved in all activities of billing, meter replacement and handling water related issues etc.In past no body was available at my house for almost 3 months and still i was asked to submit bill of the amount approx.Rs 1000/- when i had asked the reason from the concerned authorities, i was told that since my meter is not working so they charged on average consumption basis.Immediately, i requested for change of meter and my meter got replaced in the month of August, 2014.From August onwards the meter is showing obnoxious figures of water consumption despite knowing the fact that we couple are only staying in the residential premises having the storage tank of only 250 litres. It is very hard to digest my last three months bill, which came around Rs 9000/- and meter showed the consumption of 219 cubic meters, which i believe not possible from the perspective of two persons who are working on 5 days basis.Whn complained about the meter, first i was charged Rs 150 for registering the complaint and secondly representative visited in my absence and declared meter ok.This is a very serious issue which needs to be resolved as meter used in this process is not properly calibrated or issues are there related within the billing dep't.Kindly advice
