Illegal Water Theft on the Rise
One of the main contributors to the worsening water crisis is the illegal installation of motors on water taps. Unauthorized motors are siphoning off large amounts of water in approximately 40 areas of the city, aggravating the strain on the city’s already limited water resources.
Water Works Board Takes Action
In a bid to address this pressing concern, the Hyderabad Water Works Board has launched a special campaign to curb the illegal installation of motors. The Board is focusing on identifying and removing these motors to ensure the equitable distribution of water across the city.
Crackdown on Water Theft
Since the start of this month, approximately 700 illegal motors have been confiscated as part of the ongoing crackdown. Both lower-level and senior officials have actively participated in the operation to protect the city’s water supply.
