Past Disruptions in Hyderabad
This is not the first time that Hyderabad has faced disruptions in water supply. Last month, on July 4, several areas in the city experienced water supply interruptions due to repair work at the Peddapur and Kandi substations. These disruptions affected water supply in areas under the Lingampally, Borabanda, and Shaikpet reservoirs. In addition, areas like Manikonda, Narsingi, Manchirevula, and Moosapet experienced low water pressure. Similarly, Erragadda, Jubilee Hills, Somajiguda, KPHB, and Hydernagar were also impacted.
In June, on the 26th and 27th, another significant disruption occurred due to urgent repairs on the Non-Return Valve (NRV) of the second pump at the Kondapur pump house, which is a part of the Krishna Drinking Water Supply Scheme Phase-II. The affected areas faced a temporary halt in water supply while the necessary repairs were being carried out.
Water Supply Interruption Schedule
The Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWSSB) has announced that the water supply will be interrupted for a 24-hour period, beginning at 9 PM on Friday, August 30, and continuing until 9 PM on Saturday, August 31. During this period, residents in the affected areas may experience either a complete halt in water supply or significantly reduced water pressure.
