DailyMirror:    

The Commercial Division of the Water Supplies and Drainage Board says that twenty politicos, both former and still functioning, have to pay around Rs.50 million, which has got accumulated due to non – payment of bills.

According to details available, some Politicos have to pay up for periods starting in 1998. Those Politicos had been notified through reminders about their lapse, an Official from the Divisional Engineers Office said. It is said that some politicians do not allow officials to check the facility and for the same reason, no one had been able to disconnect the supply.

Even in cases where, disconnections had been effected, due to orders from above, the connections had to be reactivated., the same officials said. Now the payable amounts have increased due to payments in arrears and the fines and surcharges imposed.However, those officials say that they have no other alternative but to resort to legal means.
