Sub : too much excess billing
Dear sir,
Your kind attention is drawn to the following details for your kind perusal and necessary action.

Bill dated:- 13 feb 2020
Amount:- rs. 4418/-
Consumption shown in bill :- 100 kl
Bill period:- 10 dec 19 to 13 feb 20

It is to bring ur notice that per capita water consumption for domestic purpose prescribed in our country is 135 litre per capita per day (Lpcd). With that with family of three at first floor of 5/30 residence for which water connection alloted, total daily consumption would be 3x135=405 litres and monthly consumption would come out equal to 405x31=12555 litre which is well below i. E. Only 60% of monthly permitted 20000 litres. This actual consumption would even be less than the above calculation when we take it for peak winter period i. E. Dec, jan months. When water consumption is everywhere on lower side.

This is available on record that water consumption of previous month's for last two years for the aforesaid connection was always well below than the 20 kl monthly limit.
The consumption as shown in bill indicates 100000/63= 1587 litre per day for family and 529 litre per capita per day which is no where in the range of prescribed limit of domestic consumption.
With above deliberation, it appears that there would be sudden jump in meter reading which lead to sudden spurt in water bill.

With due regards
Sincerely yours
