Water supply is a growing concern for Hyderabad as reservoir levels continue to fall. The situation could affect several areas across the city’s busy IT corridor in the coming months.
The Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWSSB) plans to reduce water supply from the Singur and Manjeera dams from January.
The proposed move could affect more than 3.5 lakh household and commercial connections across Cyberabad. Water supply from these sources may fall from the current 120 million gallons per day (MGD) to 20 MGD.
Areas such as Gachibowli, Madhapur, Kondapur, Nanakramguda and Miyapur are among those likely to face disruptions.
The expected shortage has also raised concerns among apartment residents, businesses and IT companies. Private water tanker demand may increase if the situation continues.
The development has put the spotlight on Hyderabad’s need for reliable water sources as demand continues to grow.
