Huge fine system for wasting water due to tap opened

This particular item is there in existence from the beginning. All ofus agree that this is one of the main culprit in our water problem. Ihave seen many early communication mentioning Rs. 1000/- fine etc..

However, till now we have not identified a process on how to implementit. There is no monitoring mechanism (manual, mechanical or automatic)that now tells us that , yes a tap is left opened and water is beingwasted. You can't expect the flat owner to volunteer out thisinformation with the fine amount.

We need to think for a new and innovative process through which we cando some tracking.To be frank, I also don't have any suggestions as of now, but justwanted to highlight this item, so that it is in our scope.

I am also not fully convinced on the water meter solution, as thatmoney being spent (for tracking purpose here) can be utilised forother things like deepening our bore well or any other long termsolution.
