Delhi Water Board Fixes Water Bills

Introduction

The Delhi Jal Board (DJB) wants to find all water users. They will visit every house for six months. They want to make a correct list of people who use water.

Main Body

The city has three parts. Private companies will help the DJB. These companies will use phones to take photos and write down names. They will also take photos of the bills. This is important because many people use water but do not pay. Delhi has seven million electricity connections but only three million water connections. Many pipes leak water. Some people take water for free. The DJB lost a lot of money from 2017 to 2022. The old computer system is from 2011. It does not work well. Now the DJB will use a new system on the internet.

Conclusion

The DJB has a two-part plan. First, they check the users. Second, they change how they send bills. They want to stop losing money and give better water to the city.
