Delhi Jal Board — Installation of water meter and arbitrary billing

Address:

21 , B, Arunodaya Apartments, Sector 7, Pocket 2, Dwarka

I am a retired employee of delhi government and a resident of flat no 21 b, delhi development authority flats, sector 7, pocket 2, dwarka. The flat belongs to late sh kailash nath sil, my brother in law. On 15th march, 2020 i observed one person installing new water meters in our campus. The person took rs 2500/- by cash towards the cost of the water meter and told me to collect the receipt and the water bills from sector 5,, delhi jal board office from one deepak. The plumber took away the dusty old meter. My neighbor collected an unsigned 'warranty card' for the meter with a serial no 191808. On 30th june, i visited the delhi jal board office at sector 5 to collect the water bill. The demand is for rs 33, 859.00. On phone, sh deepak had informed me that they had taken an unreasonable arbitrary consumption of 25 kilolitres per month. This flat remains locked for about six months a year. My last payment was made to dda on 6-5-2016. The bill printed on[protected] does not record the old meter reading. On 1-7-2020, the reading of the new meter installed on[protected] was 00032397. Thus my consumption was 32.397 kilolitres. Kindly issue a revised water bill and direct the sector 5 office to give me the receipt of rs 2500.00 that was taken against the dashmesh meter with maximum retail price of rs 2275. From the bill, i understood that it is a private meter installed by delhi jal board.
