Daily water supply soon
Hyderabad: Hyderabadis can breath easy now. Thanks to the good rainfall, they can look forward to daily supplies. The Water Board has decided to resume daily supplies to about three lakh of the 7.5 lakh connections.
Beneficiaries will be mostly those in the core city area and consumers in L.B. Nagar. It will take one or two weeks to ensure the daily supply, said M. Jagadeeshwar, Managing Director, HMWSSB.However, consumers will have to put up with reduced supplying hours. As against two-hour supply on alternate days, it will be just one-hour supply hereafter.
With the water position improving, the drawl from Osmansagar has been increased to 18 mgd. In next few days, it will be further raised to 20 mgd. From Himayatsagar, 17 mgd is being drawn now.
