Speaking about the increased dependence on tankers, officials said that most of the tankers are being ordered by commercial establishments and buildings that also need bore well water in addition to potable water.
“Out of the 15 lakh HMWS&SB connections, only 25,000 connections are ordering for water tankers,” said an official, adding that the bulk of them were from Kondapur, Gachicbolwi, Kukatpally, and localities in the western part.

“Many of the tanker bookings are by commercial establishments. These structures depend heavily on bore water and they are now seeking supply by tankers as the water pressure from borewells is decreasing,” said an HMWS&SB official.
