Multan: The Water and Sanitation Authority (WASA), Multan has launched a crackdown against water and sewerage bill defaulters in the city, a news source reported. The orders in this regard came directly from WASA Managing Director Khalid Chandio.
For this purpose, the WASA Recovery Unit has formed 16 teams tasked with severing both the residential and commercial water and sewerage connections of defaulters on a daily basis. These teams have been directed to focus on company clients who haven’t cleared their bills in the past several months. Furthermore, they are required to forward the cases of habitual defaulters to the special judicial magistrate for further proceedings.
During the first phase of the crackdown, the WASA teams
severed water and sewerage connections of 84 defaulters in various parts of the
city.
In the mean time, WASA has also introduced a scheme to help
people regularize their illegal water and sewerage connections by paying the
regular fees instead of the previously implemented higher penalty charges. The provision,
however, can only be availed by individuals who submit their applications latest
by February-end.
