In a crackdown against illegal utility usage, the Municipal Corporation Gurugram (MCG) disconnected 58 illegal drinking water and sewerage connections during an enforcement drive in Gurugram.
The action was carried out in the Daulatabad industrial area and Surat Nagar, where officials found several unauthorised connections linked to commercial and industrial establishments.
Illegal Bulk Connection Among Those Removed
According to officials, the drive resulted in the disconnection of:
One illegal bulk water connection of 50 units
Eight other unauthorised connections
Several additional illegal sewer and water lines connected to businesses
Authorities said many of the illegal connections were being used by industrial units and commercial establishments to bypass official procedures.
Authorities Say Illegal Reconnections Were Found
Officials revealed that similar enforcement drives had been conducted earlier in the same areas.
However, during inspections, authorities discovered that some users had reconnected illegal lines after previous disconnections, forcing the civic body to take action again.
The civic body said strict monitoring will continue to prevent such violations.
MCG Warns of Continued Enforcement
Pradeep Dahiya said the civic body will continue enforcement drives across the city to prevent illegal use of public utilities.
He urged residents and businesses to obtain water and sewer connections only through official procedures.
Online System Introduced for Legal Connections
To simplify the process of getting legitimate connections, Municipal Corporation Gurugram recently launched an online application module on its official website.
Under the system, residents can apply for water and sewer connections using:
●Property ID
●Identity proof such as Aadhaar card or voter ID
Officials said the online process eliminates the need for multiple visits to civic offices and ensures a faster, more transparent and citizen-friendly system.
Authorities added that strict action will continue against those who illegally tap into the city’s water and sewer networks.
