Telangana cuts tap water connection deposit to Re.1 for BPL, Rs.100 for others

Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao-led Telangana Government on Thursday significantly reduced the deposit amount for obtaining tap connections in urban areas.

Until now Rs 6000 was being charged for a tap connection and if the connection was to be taken inside a house, the



deposit would be Rs 10,500, which was stopping people from obtaining connections.

“The government has decided to supply safe drinking water to every village and town through Mission Bhagiratha. That is why the deposit amount has been reduced significantly. The government wants that the purified drinking water should be made available to all” said Rao said.
