Water Board MD makes surprise visits to Old City

Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board managing director M Jagadeeshwar made surprise inspections in different localities of the Old City and checked the residual chlorine levels in the municipal water being supplied there.

At the Balapur Section, he verified water supply timings and sewerage plans. He instructed the officials there to immediately provide daily water supply to 2,500 connections in the section.

He inspected the Dargah and Balal Shah and checked the residual chlorine (RC) from the Public Stand Posts near the mosque. He found the RC levels satisfactory.

In Moin Bagh area also he checked the RC levels in the water being supplied there and found them to be OK.

Syed Baig, the corporator of the area, who accompanied the managing director during the inspection, said in some lanes delivery pipes had to be laid for a long distance as the main pipelines were not within the reach. Stating that this was giving scope for pollution of water, he requested the officer to extend the main pipes.

He also urged Jagadeeshwar to extend the DI water supply pipelines in Moinbagh, Alinagar, Rajaiah Thota and Mubarak Downla Maqkbar.

The managing director asked the officials to submit proposals for extending the pipelines in the above areas.
