The HMWS&SB, to meet the water demands in the peak summer, had begun pumping water from the dead-storage of Singoor reservoir, main source of drinking water for the twin cities and surrounding municipalities, from Thursday. Presently, about 90 to 100 million gallons per day (MGD) water is supplied. The companies will start the work after receiving the letter of intents from the Water Board. City-based Koya Company will lay a 16 km pipeline from Saheb Nagar to Mailardevpally.
While another city-based Vishwa company will lay 4 km pipeline from Mialardevpally to Shaikpet. About 16 km pipeline from Shaikpet to Prashashan Nagar was divided into four components of 4 km each, which would be laid by Vishwa Company, L&T, IVRCL and Mega Engineering. Another 12 km pipeline from Prashashan Nagar to Lingampally would again be done by Vishwa.
