Salem Corporation severs 10 drinking water connections in Sooramangalam zone

The Salem Corporation on Friday (September 18) disconnected 10 drinking water connections in the Sooramangalam zone for nonpayment of water charges. In a release, Corporation Commissioner Lalitaditya Neelam said that Salem Corporation was identifying domestic and commercial water connections that had not paid water charges for a long time. Moreover, some people were illegally drawing water by using electric pumps, which was causing difficulties in providing water to people in other areas. If any electric motors were found to be illegally connected to the municipal water supply pipe to extract water, the pumps would be confiscated, a fine imposed, and the water supply connections severed, the commissioner warned.
