If the drinking water pipeline runs over the gutter, the municipal corporation (BMC) should check daily to ensure it is clean. If the pipeline is leaking above the gutter, people should not throw garbage in the gutter. Otherwise the garbage pile can contaminate the drinking water and people can get jaundice. Suppose the pipeline is leaking, people should inform the BMC and so we would not get contaminated water and we would not fall sick.
