Singur pipeline repair to disrupt water supply in parts of Hyderabad

Emergency repair works on a major pipeline under the Singur project will disrupt drinking water supply in several Hyderabad localities. Authorities have assured tanker supply and urged residents to use water sparingly until restoration.

Hyderabad: Drinking water supply will be interrupted in several parts of the city due to emergency pipeline repair works being taken up by Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWSSB) to plug leakages in the 1,200 mm diameter gravity main pipeline between Singapur and Khanapur, which belongs to the Singur project supplying drinking water to Hyderabad.

As a result of the repair works, drinking water supply will take a hit in the areas including Gandipet, Kokapet, Narsingi, Manchirevula, Puppalaguda, Khanapur, Manikonda, parts of the Shaikpet Reservoir command area and parts of the Bhojagutta Reservoir command area, a press release from the Water Board on Tuesday said.
