Lahore authorities have announced a strict Rs. 10,000 fine for residents found wasting water by washing their cars at home using hoses. The measure, introduced to curb excessive water usage, is part of the city’s broader efforts to address water scarcity and promote conservation.
Officials have urged citizens to use buckets instead of running hoses and encouraged visits to professional car wash services that follow water-saving practices. The Water and Sanitation Agency (WASA) has warned of strict enforcement, with inspections set to be carried out across residential areas.
This initiative follows growing concerns over declining groundwater levels in Lahore, where unchecked water wastage has contributed to shortages. Residents are advised to follow water-saving guidelines or risk hefty penalties.
