At a review meeting on Tuesday, Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWS&SB) managing director Dana Kishore announced the Summer Action Plan 2023 to meet the water requirements of the city and the surrounding villages.
In the city, 565 Million Gallons of Water (MGD) are currently supplied daily, and an additional 42 Million Gallons of Water (MGD) will be supplied by the end of May.
Among the additional 42 MGD, 22 MGD will be distributed within the city limits, and 20 MGD will be distributed within the Outer Ring Road (ORR).

To resolve the sewage overflow issue in these areas, he asked the officials to allocate mini-jetting machines in each division.
According to HMWS&SB, the water supply proposed through ORR phase-2 will be completed by June.
In accordance with the Annual Maintenance System (AMS), the managing director Kishore instructed the officials to check whether the bore wells are working properly and make any necessary repairs.
