1. To provide concessions to urban poor in the matter of
water supply.
2. To identify the urban poor as those residing in houses
measuring up to 600 square feet, built-up area regardless of
whether they live in or outside the slums.
3. To waive the normal one time connection deposit for such
urban poor and to collect only the cost of providing meters
(to be fixed by the municipal corporations themselves), to
inculcate the sense of ownership;
4. To fix a life line supply of 8,000 liters per house hold per
month for urban poor, at a concessional rate (to be fixed by
the municipal corporations themselves).
5. To simplify procedures for new connections. Any proof of
residence such as ration cards and ID cards to be
considered sufficient to provide a connection.
6. To provide water free of charge through public
kiosks/cisterns/borewells fitted with hand pumps to
vulnerable sections such as nomads, destitute, homeless
poor, coolies, beggars etc. who cannot afford to pay
anything

organizing the vulnerable sections for managing free water
supply through public kiosks.
