1. Municipal water is not free, it is chargeable.

2. You have to pat Society dues.

3. Society cannot disconnect your water - it is a criminal offense; you can file a police complaint for that, they can do this only after obtaining order from court.

You should try to settle the matter amicably instead of inviting any litigation; The Society may debit the cost of litigation to your account;

Society has to pay water chgs from the maintenance you give to them, so water from Muncipality is not free. try to pay the dues as soon as possible otherwise the society can go for recovery proceedings with the registrar under MCS Act.
