No municipal corporation in the state was supplying daily water to its residents. However, Karimnagar was the only corporation which was supplying water on a regular basis, he said and informed that they were moving ahead to provide round the clock water supply.

As part of it, three reservoirs were already selected on a pilot basis and works were continuing on fast track mode, he informed and assured to provide 24×7 water by doing trail run of the pilot project soon. In the wake of an increase in the population of the town, measures have also been taken to enhance the quantity of water supply.

For this purpose, a new tank would be constructed by spending Rs 1.95 crore, he informed.
