The Board vide B.R.No. 1605 dated 12-3-1979 has approved
and directed that for "Rural Water Schemes" i.e. schemes
supplying drinking water to rural areas only, the existing
agricultural tariff rates should be made applicable
i.e. for
| L.T metered
supply |
- |
tariff
LTP-Ag. |
| for H.T.
metered supply |
- |
tariff
HTP-2 (Ag). |
| for Horse
Power Tariff |
- |
LTP-Ag
(H-P) for LT &
HTP-2 (AG-HP) for H.T. |
The Board has further directed that
all the individual Water Supply Schemes should be
allowed to exercise the option to have billing based
on either "metered supply" or "Horse Power of the
pump", in the same manner as in case of Agricultural
consumers (vide Dept. Circular (Com) No.311).
The Board further decided that these tariff rates
for Water Supply Schemes will be in supersession of
present tariff rates and will take effect from 1-4-1979
i.e. the consumption for Billing month of April'79
onwards is to be billed as revised tariff rates.
All billing offices are requested to communicate the
revised tariff rates to individual "Rural Water Supply
Schemes" requesting them to exercise the option on
or before 31 -5-1979 and also furnish an undertaking
to the effect that the option exercised will be binding
on them for a period of 3 years.
A draft letter of communication and a letter of option
to be given by the consumers are enclosed here with
for ready ref.
No existing energy meters should be removed from any
installation at this stage. This may be removed only
in respect of those who eventually opt for H.P. tariff.
Till such time billing should be continued on the
basis of metered supply.
