Hyderabad: Residents in several areas in Hyderabad will experience disruptions in their drinking water supply.
The disruption will begin from 6 a.m. on November 11 and last for 24 hours.
Reason for drinking water supply disruption in Hyderabad
The Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWSSB) has reported significant leaks in the Manjira Phase-2 pipeline, a 1500 mm diameter PSC pumping main that is a key source of drinking water for the city.
To prevent further leakage and potential water loss, HMWSSB will carry out essential repairs on this pipeline. The repair work will commence on Monday, November 11, at 6 a.m., and is expected to be completed by 6 a.m. on November 12.
During this 24-hour period, many areas in Hyderabad will experience either low water pressure or complete disruption in supply.
