The Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply & Sewerage Board (HMWS&SB) has initiated measures to check pollution in drinking water supply in view of the incessant rains for the past one week in the city.
Three stages of chlorination are being done for the water being supplied to households, first at the water treatment plants, next at the main balancing reservoirs, and finally, booster chlorination at the service reservoirs, before supply.
Managing director of the water board, M. Dana Kishore shared details of his tour to the localities served by the board’s reservoir at Patigadda in Begumpet. He checked the water for quality parameters and expressed satisfaction, before enquiring with people about supply.
