How did you arrive at this conclusion, Tony?

with electricity and cable TV connections sporting two-wheelers and even
cars but drawing water illegally through flexible pipes from the public tap
on the road outside their homes so that they do not have to pay for the
water!  -  TCA  >>

Quite a sweeping statement, Tony.  The public tap is attached to a 1/2 inch
dia pipe.  How does one connect *a dozen flexible pipes* to a 1/2 inch tap?


<<  Quite frankly, in reasonably  prosperous localities like our coastal
villages there is absolutely no justification for providing public taps for
free water supply at public cost.  It is just another case of politicians
being generous at the tax-payers' cost!  -  TCA  >>

How interesting.  I always believed - and still do - that providing public
taps for free water supply at public cost is a part of good governance.
