The Public Works Department has informed that many Water supply Consumers use booster pumps anywhere on their individual water connection service pipeline to draw water by illegal means thus depriving other consumers of equitable water supply in neighbourhoods supplied through the piped distribution network. This act of the consumer is unlawful and amounts to illegal use of piped water and liable for action as per the Goa Provision of Water Supply, Act 2003.
All such consumers who have installed booster pumps for illegal drawal of potable water supplied by the Department are directed to remove and disconnect all such booster pumps immediately, failing which the water connection will be disconnected on the spot without any further notice and further action will be initiated against all such consumers as per the Act, as informed by the Department of Information and Publicity.
