Across the city, resident welfare associations (RWAs) are implementing water rationing measures and imposing restrictions such as banning vehicle washing and swimming pool activities with immediate effect, reflecting the severity of the potable water crisis.

To incentivize water conservation, the RWA has informed residents that households failing to reduce water consumption by 20% will face an additional charge of Rs 5,000.
