Summary:
ONLY 25 per cent water meters installed in the city are functional, according to Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) data, a setback to the civic body’s efforts to provide 24-hour water supply to all parts of the city. AdvertisingThe civic body has spent crores to achieve 100 per cent water metering but the data indicates it is way behind that target. The data was compiled as part of the BMC’s efforts to provide 24-hour water supply to all parts of the city. The BMC installs water meters for an entire property and not for individual flats. This means nearly 30 per cent water is going waste due to leakage, theft and other factors, causing losses..
