Hyderabad: Municipal Administration Minister K Taraka Rama Rao on Saturday said the State government would ensure daily water supply to citizens in Hyderabad if there was good monsoon this year.

Replying to a question raised by BJP MLA Chintala Ramachandra Reddy during Question Hour in Legislative Assembly on Saturday, the Minister said the drinking water problem has been completely resolved after the formation of Telangana. He said no area in the city faced shortage of drinking water during the last two summer seasons.

He said presently drinking water is being supplied to nearly 150 localities on daily basis. He asked the members not to politicise the issue of drinking water. KTR said in March 2016 about 352 Mgd water was supplied and this year the demand has increased by 20 Mgd.

He said two new reservoirs of 20 tmcft capacity each were being constructed on Hyderabad's outskirts to improve the supply of drinking water in city and its outskirts. From the Manjeera, Singoor and Krishna water supply schemes, several bulk water supplies were provided to the en route areas to RWS department as bulk customers of HMWSSB who pay the water cess as per HMWSSB tariff.
