The municipal corporation will send water and sewer bills to residents through SMS. Earlier, printed bills were delivered through employees to residents. On many occasions, bills were not delivered on time. Now, the Department of Local Government, Punjab, has started its own portal titled — mSeva — for which residents would have to create their own ID with a registered mobile number to log in and make payment for services availed.
