Over 90% works for the construction of 25 reservoirs under package 2 of the Outer Ring Road project phase-2 have been completed. It is likely that all works would be completed by June and the Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply & Sewerage Board (HMWS&SB) would provide drinking water to villages, residential colonies and gated communities spread on the outskirts of Hyderabad.
Inspecting the ongoing works on Friday, Water Board chief C. Sudarshan Reddy said the new pipeline of 1,250 km was also being laid and soon inlet and outlet works would also be tested. Of the total 38 reservoirs under the package, 13 are already ready, he said. “The premises of the new reservoirs are also being beautified and developed aesthetically,” he added.
Mr. Sudarshan Reddy visited the 3-ML capacity Mallampet reservoir, the pump room and the Bachupally filling station in Qutbullapur mandal.
