A MEASUREwhichproposes tomake the use of illegally installedwaterpumps a criminaloffenseisnow before the House of Representatives for consideration.
Authored by Vice Speaker Diego T. Benavente, the measuresays the amount of water available to every household on theisland depends on the "conscientious effort ofeachuser" complying with the rules and regulationsof the Commonwealth UtilitiesCorp.
"It is duly unfair for anyone toemployillegaluseofwaterpumpsin that not only are the neighboring households denied their fairshare of this finite resource, butthereappearstobe alotof wasteisthis isn't regulated," Benaventesaid.
"The problemhas ballooned tothe extent that making it a criminaloffensehasbecomeamatterofnecessity,"hesaid. "It isproposedthat violators would be fined$1,000 for the flrst offense and$2,500for subsequent violationsand the proposed measure alsoincludes penalties for water recipients originatingfrom unregulated water pumps.
"It is importanttopoint too thatonce this proposed measure becomes law, CUC would be outsurveying residential and commercial areas to fmd out illegalwaterpurnphook-ups. The Attorney General's Office would alsobe involved in the enforcementofthis measure," Benavente said.
