Cantt residents told to get water lines cleaned

Nashik:

Residents

of a housing in the Deolali area were in for a rude shock when the Cantonment board asked them to get the lines supplying water to their houses cleared themselves.

The residents had complained that they were not getting water supply properly and that the board should resolve the issue.

Chief executive officer of the Cantonment Board Ajay Kumar told TOI, “The board cleans up only the main line of water. The responsibility of clearing the sub-lines diverted to the housing societies are to be borne by the residents.”

Bharat Shah, a resident of the housing society, said, “The board told us that they will arrange for a licenced

plumber

but that we will have to bear the expense. The board should take the responsibility of all the lines as the water meters in our houses belong to them and we pay the charges for it,” said Shah.
