The 20 KL free drinking water supply scheme may be soon be extended to three ULBs outside GHMC — Nagaram, Dammaiguda and Jawahar Nagar respectively, as a compensating gesture for the underground water pollution by legacy leachate from the Jawahar Nagar solid waste management facility.
Special Chief Secretary, Municipal Administration, Arvind Kumar directed the Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply & Sewerage Board (HMWS&SB) officials to consider the possibility of extending the scheme, and submit a report.
Mr. Arvind Kumar held a review meeting on Wednesday with officials from GHMC, HMDA, HMWS&SB, HRDCL, SNDP, Re Sustainability Limited (Ramky Enviro Engineers Limited previously), and the chairpersons and municipal commissioners of the three municipalities, after taking a tour of the dump yard.
