In a residential complex commercial activities are not permitted. Submit complaint to Managing Committee and raise the issue in General Body Meeting for banning such activities in the Society..

If bye-law is silent, through General Body, pass a unanimous resolution, that water should be used strictly for household purposes only. (If someone wants to wash their vehicle they may use bucket without attaching pipe to the mainline)
