Municipal Corporation Gurugram [MCG] — Water and sewerage bill

Dear Sir,
I have received a bill for water and sewarage charges for M 134, SF, south city 1, Gurgaon. The bill is for Rs.16674 for 28 months. The rate is arbitrary and defies all logic. The rate should be based either on meter charges as per consumption or family size and not the plot size. We are 2 members in the family while 275 sq.yds plot sizes has three storied buildings with a single owner and 16 members paying the same amount. We have three independent floors with 3 owners and you are charging Rs16674x3 for the same plot size. Moreover during the same period of 28 months we were held up in Kolkata for 13 months due to the lockdown. You are charging with a flat rate which is not right. Although we have three bathrooms one bathroom is used as a store for books.
I would like to request you to charge for 15 months of actual water use or per head consumption for 2 persons. Plot size wise rate is absolutely wrong method for water charges.
Also during the said 28 mnths period we were purchasing water regularly from tankers during the summer months of 2019. And you are charging with a flat rate irrespective of the consumption or charging for services which were never provided.
In view of the above you may drastically reduce the charges according to actual consumption which is almost 1/4 of the billed amount for us.
Thanking you in advance for your recalculating the actual cost of water and sewarage charges.
Best wishes.
