The same Clause adds, “The estimate will be valid up to 3(Three) months from the date of issue of the estimate to the consumer unless there is statutory compulsion. The estimate/bill should invariably contain specifically the period of validity of such estimate/bill.”
Clause 5(B) states that the required service (or power) lines will be connected by the Department only after the receipt of payment for the service line charges.
