The Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) is seriously monitoring non-revenue water, that is, water lost through burst pipes and theft, which poses a threat to the company’s financial viability.
At Thursday’s Joint Select Committee Meeting on Land and Physical Infrastructure, which examined the operations of WASA, Chairman Ravindra Nanga revealed the volume of water being lost, depriving them of revenue.
He went on to say that the water company is also scrutinising separately the levels of water going to those who have illegal connections. Chairman Nanga explained that if people do not work toward proper regularisation with them, they are then put in the hands of the law.
