Upon some one's recommendation, sometime back, I had a chance to visit the TWAD (Mela authoor) pumping station along with few people well acquainted to me who are concerned about the well being of our people.

The officer in-charge of the station was kind enough to spend some of his time with us and explained the whole process. Finally he took us to the pumping room and showed us the water meter. He informed us that 2.3 million liters of water being pumped everyday from the reservoir to our town after certain process. It seems to me that everything works out perfectly. When questioned about less water being received, he reproved and recommended us to have a water meter at receiving point to see for ourselves.

We came back reported to the person concern.

I do not know what stops our municipality from installing a water meter at the receiving point ?

But one thing I knew for sure is that there are hundreds of pipeline connections in our beloved town which are neither approved nor applied. These are simply illegal and unofficial connections. Everyone knows that one can not get such water connection(s) without the support from the department staff(s) in our municipality.

It is possible that those staves who abet others to get such connection(s) in order to receive kickbacks, probably taking advantage of the absence of such meter too. Is there any nexus between absence of the meter and the kickbacks.?

Perhaps such meter can reveal the truth. If the meter shows less counting than what we are supposed to receive, our municipality can always drag TWAD to the court for overcharging us all these years. What if the meter shows what TWAD claims?

A Million dollar question. Can we (people) drag the corrupted staves out to the road and ............................
