The BMC’s “Water for all” policy will come as a big relief to around 55,000 buildings where the residents currently have to pay double water charges in the absence of occupancy certificate. 

Additional Municipal Commissioner P Velrasu confirmed the development and said, “We are framing the policy draft which is in the final stage. Living in a building that doesn’t have OC is not a mistake of the residents. So we are thinking of reducing the water charge of these buildings to normal charges.” He added, “We will give drinking water to every structure in Mumbai.”
