PMC Pune Vs Irrigation Department Pune |  |  The supply of water through Pune Municipal Corporation’s drinking water scheme (Water Treatment Plant) is being done on a per capita basis and is not for processing industries and raw materials in the industrial unit.  That is, the PMC Pune provides water only for drinking (domestic use).  Despite this, the Department of Water Resources has submitted bills to the Pune Municipal Corporation at industrial rates instead of domestic and commercial rates.  The Pune Irrigation Department has demanded payment of 736 crores including arrears from the Municipal Corporation.  However, the Pune Municipal Corporation is surprised by the role of the Irrigation Department.  Because the issue of industrial rate bill was settled.  Also the bill will not be charged at industrial rate.  Such an assurance was given by Patbandhare in September 2003 meeting.  Despite this, the Irrigation Department has demanded to pay 736 crores including the total arrears by removing the bills of September and October at the industrial rate.  This has again increased the headache of the municipal water supply department.  (PMC Pune Vs Pune Irrigation Department)
