kL) (in ₹)

Upto 20 ₹ 146.41 ₹ 5.27

20 - 30 ₹ 219.62 ₹ 26.36

> 30 ₹ 292.82 ₹ 43.93


Plus sewer maintenance charge 60% of volumetric charge.

Q. Mr. Mayank lives in Delhi. He consumed 27 kL of water in a month. Calculate his water bill from this month
Solution- According to the tariff plan of Delhi.

Service charge = ₹219.62

Volumetric charge = ₹(5.27 x 20) + ₹(26.36 x 7)

= ₹105.40 + ₹184.52

= ₹289.92

Sewerage charge = 60% of volumetric charge

= 60% of ₹289.92

= ₹173.95

Total Water Bill = Service charge + Volumetric Charge + Sewerage Charge

= ₹219.62 + ₹289.92 + ₹173.95

= ₹683.49
