How to procure a Water Connection in India?
The General Procedure for obtaining a water connection in India is given here. However, do keep in
mind that the procedure for obtaining a water connection may vary across states and cities in India.
 Any person, including corporate bodies who are owner/s or tenants of a premise may apply for
a new water connection by obtaining the prescribed application form from the concerned
Assistant Engineer office.
 If the applicant is not the owner of a premise and is a tenant in the said building or land, the
applicant should get the application endorsed by the owner of the premise giving a 'No
Objection' certificate for a water connection in the name of the tenant. Alternatively, he may be
required to submit evidence regarding tenancy as well as authority given to him by the landlord
for applying for a water connection. The tenant than may also be required to furnish a security
deposit which is refunded to him when he leaves the premises without any arrears pertaining to
water supply against him.
 With the application form, the applicant may be required to furnish evidence of
ownership/tenancy of premises or land such as duly attested true copy of the title deed/tenancy
or lease agreement/ patta/ration card/ electricity bill, etc., as prescribed by the department.
 On receipt of the form, the specified authority will depute a person to check the site for
feasibility of permitting a water connection. If the water connection is feasible, the applicant will
be required to deposit a sum towards fee/charges within a specified period. If there is any
cutting of roads involved for making the connection, the required estimate for the same is also
given to the applicant, which is required to be deposited with the concerned Authority.
 Mostly, the applicant is required to bear the cost of providing the connection including the cost
of pipes and fittings. On compliance with the formalities, water connection is arranged by the
concerned authority/department. At times, the applicant is also required to carry out the work
through a plumber registered with the concerned authority/department.
 New Water connection in Slums/Kachhi Basti is also sanctioned on the basis of House Survey
No./ration card/electricity bill.
