The Delhi government on Tuesday extended its scheme offering a one-time waiver of water bill arrears and late payment surcharge till September 30 in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak.

“In wake of Covid-19 outbreak, the water bill waiver scheme of the Delhi Jal Board has been extended by three months and will now end on September 30,” the water utility’s vice-chairman, Raghav Chadha, tweeted.
