The Mizoram Water Tariff Act, 1991 regulates the public water supply, connection procedures, tariff rates, and billing mechanisms across urban and semi-urban areas in Mizoram. It applies to consumers, property owners, tenants, and the general public utilizing or interacting with state water supply infrastructure managed by the Public Health Engineering Department. The legislation matters because it establishes standardized fees for water usage, enforces strict measures against water wastage, illegal diversions, and damage to waterworks, and provides mechanisms for penalty enforcement and dispute resolution, thereby ensuring the sustainable management and fair distribution of public water resources in the state.
