The DHA and the CBC have done a commendable job by installing potable water filters at various points in their areas. However, the facility provided by the authorities is being misused by people, especially the shopkeepers, particularly in the densely populated locality of DHA Phase II where this filtered water is used by the shopkeepers for washing and cleaning purposes. Some mechanics are using this water for pressure cleaning ACs’ condensers through water-air pumps. Many shopkeepers are using trolleys to carry potable water from the filter to their shops.
All this is taking place before the very eyes of the supervising staff as well as the mobile vigilance teams. Measures should be taken to stop the misuse of potable water for washing and cleaning purposes.
