GREATER NOIDA: To prevent wastage of potable water, Greater Noida Authority has decided to disconnect supply to all vacant residences. The department of urban services has been directed to undertake the disconnection drive after conducting a survey in association with RWAs. The survey was ordered after dilapidated water tanks were found in several houses resulting in massive water leakages leading to shortage.
Officials said RWAs can provide first-hand information about houses vacant in their respective sectors. "A number of houses have been found shut for years," said an official.
According to the Authority, the vacant houses are in a state of disrepair with broken water tanks. "With no occupants, the tanks keep overflowing after getting filled from supply lines of the Authority. The decision to disconnect supply has been taken to prevent this loss," added officials.
Most vacant houses are located in Sector 36, Sector 37, Swarn Nagari, Delta-3 and P-3. Officials also say that the step has been taken to prevent accumulation of waste water which form breeding grounds for carriers of vector-borne diseases. Connections will be restored only after representations from owners.
