Hyderabad: Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWSSB) has appealed to citizens to use water judiciously in view of the intense summer ahead.
Water Board Managing Director Ashok Reddy held a Zoom meeting with Joint Managing Director Mayank Mittal and other officers on Sunday in Hyderabad.
He inquired about field-level water supply, tanker bookings, and delivery times, among other details. Comparing tanker bookings to last year, he said the numbers have been lower this year, though some areas, including Manikonda, Banjara Hills, Doyens, Hafeezpet, and Netaji Park, have reported a surge.
“Water is a precious resource. Only by valuing every drop can we ensure water security for future generations,” Ashok Reddy noted.
How to conserve water
- Do not use precious drinking water for washing vehicles or cleaning the surroundings of homes
- When brushing, use water from a mug instead of keeping the tap continuously open.
- Water can be saved significantly by reducing shower usage during baths and bathing with a bucket.
- Immediately get repairs done on leaking pipes and taps.
- Avoid storing or wasting water beyond necessity.
