The Ordu Water and Sewerage General Directorate (OSKİ) has initiated legal proceedings against 419 individuals who have used water illegally over the past two months.
As part of efforts to combat illegal water use and protect water resources, OSKİ teams conducted inspections at 3,238 residences across 19 districts over the past two months. During these inspections, illegal water use was detected in 37 neighborhoods across 16 districts. It was found that 419 residents had set up illegal water systems to bypass their meters.
The inspections revealed some interesting methods of illegal water connections. It was observed that additional pipes were installed to divert water to other locations before it reached the meter, that meters were bypassed, that illegal connections and extensions were made for multiple uses, and that mechanisms were set up to use water without a meter.
