Hyderabad Sets 24-Hour Water Shutdown May 2–3 for Asifnagar Tank Cleaning

The utility is pausing service to clean a 1.36 million‑litre balancing tank to protect water quality.

Overview

  • HMWSSB, which scheduled the work for Saturday 6 am to Sunday 6 am, said several Hyderabad localities will see a planned supply cut.
  • Crews will clean an old balancing tank at the Asifnagar filter beds that holds 1.36 million litres of treated water.
  • Areas listed by the board include Red Hills, Nampally, Mallepally, Seetarambagh, Hindi Nagar, Assembly, Secretariat, New MLA Quarters, Adarshnagar, Gunfoundry, Chintal Basti, Vijayanagar Colony, Old Mallepally, Ahmednagar, Kavadiguda, Gandhinagar, Domalguda and Banjara Hills.
  • Residents in the named zones may face low pressure or no supply during the window, and the board urged consumers to use water sparingly.
  • Balancing tanks steady flow and pressure across the network, and cleaning them sometimes requires brief shutdowns to let crews work safely and keep water clean.
