Hyderabad Water Supply Alert: 24-Hour Disruption From August 17
Residents in several parts of Hyderabad should prepare for a 24-hour interruption in drinking water supply as the Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWSSB) takes up major maintenance works at the Singur Project.
The disruption is scheduled to begin at 10 am on August 17 and continue until 10 am on August 18. Depending on the location, residents may experience a complete stoppage, reduced water supply or low-pressure water.
Why Will Water Supply Be Affected?
HMWSSB officials will carry out a series of works at the Phase-IV pump house on the Peddapur campus of the Singur Project, which is an important source of drinking water for Greater Hyderabad.
The planned work includes junction-related repairs on the pumping main, connecting the gravity main and replacing multiple valves. Since these activities involve key water-supply infrastructure, several areas connected to the system are expected to be affected.

HMWSSB has indicated that the impact will differ from one locality to another. While some areas may experience a complete interruption, others could receive water partially or at reduced pressure.
The maintenance work is being undertaken to facilitate necessary infrastructure upgrades and replacements at the Singur Project's pumping system.
