Hi,
We have only 14 members in our society.
Some so called ‘rich’ and ‘influential’ members in our society have fitted water tanks of large capacity in their homes to get uninterrupted water supply irrespective of
1. Water shortage that eventually occurs.
2. The rule which is already made by society in the proceedings not to fit water tank beyond nominal specified capacity.
Also surprisingly they insist in cutting water supply from common overhead tank for 10 or more hrs in a day to meet water shortage situation that occurs sometimes. They advice others to purchase tanks of their own and do the same.
I feel it is injustice to those who can not afford costly water tank purchase.
Secondly this can start competition of fitting large water tank capacity irrespective of water availability. Increase in tanks does not generate water…!
It is the duty of society office to see that available water gets evenly distributed and everyone have equal right on the available water. Despite of several oral and written communication Chairman is not taking this issue seriously.
I want to go a level ahead ,
Please advice me if legally I can fight with them on this matter.

Advice from society consultant
Dear Girish,
We're sorry to hear that. You should reach out to the deputy registrar of cooperative society in your area. You should go along with all the written communications you have had so far. We cannot comment on the oversized home water tank but the registrar, cooperative can direct the co op housing society to comply as required.
Hope this helps
