HMWSSB resolves water supply issues in Hyderabad, expedites pending tanker trips
On March 11, 2025, Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWSSB) Managing Director Ashok Reddy inspected the Hyder Nagar Reservoir after repairs were completed on a damaged 1500 mm diameter PSC pumping main. The repairs, necessitated by a water supply disruption, were completed by midnight and water supply was restored early the next day. Reddy acknowledged the disruption and emphasized the use of tankers to provide water to affected areas. He attributed the delay in repairs to the pipe's age and size, but commended the technical team for their successful efforts. Reddy later inspected the Quality Assurance Wing lab, recommending modern technology for streamlined testing processes. He also visited the staff college, training center, and library, directing necessary repairs. At the tanker filling station, Reddy learned of 265 pending trips due to the leakage and ordered their completion within 12 hours. He instructed the use of two shifts and suggested additional improvements like water waste redirection, CC flooring, and platform construction at filling points.11:46 AM Mar 12, 2025 IST
