Water supply from Akkampally reservoir is safe: HMWSSB official
Despite the discovery of dozens of dead chickens in Akkampally Reservoir, Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWSSB) assures the public that the drinking water supplied from the reservoir is safe. The chickens were dumped into a canal that flows into the reservoir following a bird flu outbreak in the area. The HMWSSB emphasizes that the water undergoes a three-phase chlorination process and is further treated at the Kodandapur Water Plant before being distributed to Hyderabad. Water samples have been collected and analyzed by various agencies, revealing no contamination so far. Hourly water quality tests will continue for the next week to ensure safety.10:40 PM Feb 15, 2025 IST
