Dear Sir,
Subject: Inadequate and bad quality of water supply.
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to draw the attention of the civic authorities to the bad quality and inadequate supply of tap water in our locality.
It is unfortunate that the local civic authorities do not take care to provide the citizens with even the basic amenities such as proper and adequate water supply. In our locality, water is supplied only for three hours in the morning. For the rest of the day the taps remain dry. Also, the quality of supplied water is poor. It is unhygienic and contaminated. There have been cases of water borne diseases like diarrhoea and dysentery. It is highly expected that these diseases may break out in form of epidemic if the problem is not properly addressed.
It is expected that instead of ignoring the issue, the authorities concerned will take immediate steps to ensure supply of adequate and good quality of water in our locality so that we citizens are able to live a disease free and stress free life.
Yours faithfully,
Saurabh.

Subject: For making the authorities aware of the inadequate supply of water in our area.
Sir,
Through the high respect and value of your newspaper, I want to draw the attention of higher authorities towards the problem of water scarcity and supply of poor quality of water in our area.
We are facing a great problem due to scacity of water which is the result of improper supply of water in our area. I have a view that the government is not aware about the irregular and irresponsible work of the officials. So I want to aware the authorities and try to solve this problem. We are not getting the proper supply of water of atleast 5 hours a day. The supply of water we are having is not cleaned water. It is completely contaminated water which is resulting in bad health of the people of our area.
Therefore, it is a humble request to you to print an article in your newspaper so that tje authorities concerned take immediate steps related.
Thank you
Yours truly,
Saurabh
