Hyderabad: Drinking water supply in many parts of the city will face disruption on November 26 due to planned maintenance work at power stations that support the Krishna Phase 1, 2 and 3 pumping systems. The Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board announced the shutdown in a notice.

The HMWSSB stated that TGTRANSCO will stop power supply to the 132 kV substations at Nasarlapalli from 10 am to 4 pm.

Meanwhile, the board listed the affected areas under Krishna Phases 1, 2 and 3. These include Charminar, Vinay Nagar, Bojagutta, Red Hills, Narayanaguda, SR Nagar and Maredpally.

Further, areas like Hafeezpet, Rajendranagar, Manikonda, Boduppal and Meerpet fall under the disruption zone. The input confirmed all these localities without noting any exceptions.
The HMWSSB advised residents in the affected zones to store water in advance. It also asked them to use water carefully until the normal supply is restored. The press release, issued on Monday, stressed the importance of the maintenance activity. However, the notice did not mention any alternative arrangements for consumers.
