What is the Reason for the Shutdown?
The disruption is necessary to address major leakages in a crucial 1,500 mm diameter pipeline. This pipeline is part of the Manjeera Phase-2 water supply scheme and transports water from Kalabgur to Hyder Nagar. It is a primary artery for the city’s drinking water.
During the 24-hour repair window, some neighbourhoods will experience low water pressure, while others will face a complete interruption.

The water cut will impact a wide range of residential and commercial localities across multiple operational divisions. Residents in the following areas should prepare for the disruption:
