Neighbour sprinkle waste water in front of our house

According to delhi jal board one cannot waste drinking water. One cannot use drinkable water to wash cars, floors and Roads. As per MCD one cannot sprinkle waste /used water outside which can cause diseases. 

One of our neighbours do these two things intentionally, on regular basis, shamelessly. What can be done ? Is there any solution? 



Quick Summary
A Delhi resident is seeking advice on how to address a neighbour who repeatedly sprinkles wastewater in front of their house, violating Delhi Jal Board (DJB) and MCD regulations. The discussion highlights that wasting potable water for activities like washing floors or roads is prohibited and can incur fines of ₹2,000 for first-time offenders and ₹5,000 daily for repeat offenders. It suggests reporting the issue with photographic evidence to the DJB via their Twitter handle or by calling the helpline 1916.

According to the query, you have mentioned let me brief you about the fines and ways to complain about the misuse of portable water.

Delhi Jal Board (DJB), based on directions of the National Green Tribunal (NGT), issued orders for a crackdown on the misuse of potable water.  Fine for misusing portable water would be Rs 2,000 and Rs 5000 per day for repeat offenders. 

When you see your neighbor wasting potable water, just click a photograph and send it to Delhi Jal Board (DJB) or tag them on the official Twitter handle @delhijalboard for taking penal action. You can also complain about it on helpline number 1916.
