Hyderabad: No piped water, people pay extra for tankers

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: Due to irregular water supply, several parts of the city, including those that are considered ‘posh’ have been forced to rely on water tankers. These areas are not getting piped water and residents are having to pay to water board and purchase tankers. Asked about the problem, a senior water board official said supply to a few areas was hampered due to temporary repairs and that uninterrupted water supply will be restored after their completion. The official assured that the water transmission to the city had not changed and that the board was supplying 430 million gallons per day through the pipeline network and three MGD through water tankers. The demand for water tankers has seen a noticeable increase in areas to which the Singur-Manjeera water supply stood hampered.
