The scheme of voluntary disclosure of illegal connections will begin from July 15 and will close on September 14.

The connection charges will be levied as per the plot area, apart from 60 days of water consumption charges and one year's minimum water consumption charges will be levied as penalty as per the prevailing tariff, informed a release.

The board will also levy Rs.500 towards Green Brigade charges and rain harvesting charges as per board norms.
