Electricity and water
Apply for a water tap or household connection
A household tap connection in a rural area comes under the tap water mission; in a city it is applied for from the municipal body or PHED.
Is your place in a village or in a city/town?
Why we ask: Rural water supply is run under the tap water mission, while an urban supply is the local body's.
