Hyderabad will experience a 24-hour water supply disruption starting at 6 a.m. on January 13. The Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWS&SB) said in a statement that several areas will experience a temporary halt in drinking water services due to essential repairs.
The HMWS&SB said the exact reason of the water supply interruption is linked to significant leaks in the 1,500-mm diameter pumping main that is part of Phase-2 of the Manjira project, which supplies drinking water to the city. The HMWS&SB in a statement said that the repair work will be carried out on the damaged sections, which is expected to result in the temporary water shortage.
The areas that will be affected due to water supply disruption include Erragadda, Yousufguda, Borabanda, KPHB Colony, Moosapet, Nizampet, Hydernagar, Patancheru, Ramachandrapuram, Deepti Srinagar, Madinaguda, Miyapur, Hafizpet, Biramguda, Aminpur, and the Bollaram Industrial Zone.
