Dear Members,
Section 381-A of the BMC Act.says that any new well, tank, pond, cistern, or fountain shall not be dug or constructed without the commissioner's permission. Would installation of a plastic water tank in the flat be a violation of the ACT . On the face of it it is quite clear that any new well tank pond or cistern shall not be dug or constructed without the commissioner's permission, but it does not specifically bar storage of water and the containers for the same-maybe it is drum or a tank or for that even your flush tank in the toilet-all are storage tanks of small or large capacities.
Also there was a newspaper report that indicated that this Section was going to be amended by the BMC , has the same been amended and if so what does the amendment say?
Please enlighten , in short can a resident install a plastic tank in the loft of the bathroom or kitchen?
