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.
