WASA Rawalpindi Warns Defaulters of Water Supply Disconnection

The Water and Sanitation Agency (WASA) in Rawalpindi has issued a stern warning to consumers with overdue bills, threatening to cut off their water supply if payments are not made by a specified deadline. This stern message was delivered during a revenue recovery campaign in E-Block, Satellite Town, where WASA officials focused on both residential and commercial customers who have outstanding fees.

The operation was initiated based on special directives from WASA Rawalpindi's Managing Director, Aziz Ullah Khan. The supervisory team included senior officials such as Senior Special Magistrate WASA Amir Ashfaq Qureshi, Director Finance and Revenue Tahir Bashir Mirza, and Deputy Director Revenue Akmal Yasin. The operation was supported by WASA field teams and Punjab Police personnel.

Amir Ashfaq Qureshi emphasized that WASA has provided the defaulters with one last chance to settle their outstanding bills. He warned that those who fail to meet the deadline will not only lose their water connections but may also face legal consequences under the law. Qureshi clarified that WASA will not extend special discounts or preferential treatment to those who persist in non-payment.

He urged the affected consumers to clear their accounts promptly to avoid disconnection and potential legal action. Qureshi further announced that WASA plans to extend the recovery operation to other areas of Rawalpindi and will enforce actions against defaulters without any discrimination.
