Sewa and the municipality inspectors will impose a fine of Dh150 on those found wasting water. The fine will be doubled in the event of repeat violation, followed by closure of business for the third violation.
Speaking to Khaleej Times, Hamid Tahir Al Haj, head of Customer Services in Sewa, said the authority had decided to implement the rule as part of its efforts to ensure water conservation in the emirate.
To be launched officially from the beginning of next week, the water and energy conservation campaign is aimed at promoting sustainable use of water and energy in the emirate. Through the campaign, Sewa intends to change the attitude of residents towards water consumption.
Al Haj urged villa and house owners to immediately call Sewa’s nearest office in case water leakage is detected. Water leakage is one of the main factors of water wastage.
“Water in the emirate comes from desalination plants which are extremely expensive and only a few countries can afford them. As such water is a valuable resource but it is easily wasted by the public in the emirate,” he added.
