Residents of the Kollur 2BHK housing colony in Sangareddy were served a collective Rs 2.39 crore water bill by HMWSSB for 11 months, sparking outrage. Beneficiaries claim they were billed even before occupancy and demand government waiver citing financial hardship.

Heavy rains in upstream areas led to sharp inflows into Osman Sagar and Himayat Sagar on Wednesday. HMWSSB officials opened gates of both reservoirs, releasing surplus water into the Musi River while monitoring the situation closely.

The Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWSSB) has adopted Artificial Intelligence (AI) to analyse over 6.5 lakh complaints and 1.2 million tanker bookings. Officials said the initiative will help identify high-demand areas and streamline water supply.

A technical glitch in automated systems has forced HMWSSB to switch to manual operations for tanker bookings, delivery, and complaint resolution. Officials were instructed to remain on alert, while a contingency plan is being implemented and restoration work continues.

A major technical issue at the HMWSSB data centre has disrupted its online services since Thursday night, halting tanker bookings and other digital services. Officials say efforts are underway to restore operations, with manual systems temporarily in place for tanker supply.

Water tanker bookings in Hyderabad have surged by 36 per cent due to poor rainfall. HMWSSB held an emergency meeting to handle rising demand. CM Revanth Reddy warned of higher tanker rates for homes without rainwater harvesting pits within ORR limits.
