Officials said they have pasted notices at all the societies concerned and are attempting to collect the remaining water bills from the defaulters.
During a meeting at the Noida Authority office on Monday, CEO Lokesh M reviewed the progress of the water meter installation.
The CEO has asked officials to compare bills generated in manual mode with bills generated from smart meters and study water meter projects in other cities. He said the comparative study would help decide the action plan for the water meter project and smoothen its implementation.
In the first phase of the water meter project, the Noida Authority will install 390 water meters across 60,000 households. The CEO has also asked the water department of the Authority to complete the Ganga water supply project by May 2024 to ensure water supply across the city.
