Hyderabad’s treated water tankers supplied 11.07 lakh litres to government departments and private users on the second day of the Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board’s green tanker initiative, helping divert non-drinking demand away from potable water sources.
The HMWS&SB said 79 tankers completed 124 trips across the city until 6.30 pm on Monday. The treated water was drawn from 18 sewage treatment plants and supplied for government and private requirements, including construction, parks, gardening, landscaping and other non-drinking uses.
Of the 1,107 kilolitres supplied during the day, government departments accounted for 609.5 kilolitres, while private users received 497.5 kilolitres. The figures show that public agencies formed the larger share of demand during the programme’s second day, although private users also accounted for 497.5 kilolitres.
The Cyberabad region recorded the highest quantity supplied, with 505 kilolitres transported through 34 trips by 14 tankers. The Hyderabad region received 295.5 kilolitres through 54 trips using 36 tankers, while the Malkajgiri region recorded 306.5 kilolitres through 36 trips by 29 tankers.
The distribution pattern also indicates differences in how the tanker network was deployed across the three regions. Hyderabad used the largest number of tankers and completed the highest number of trips, but Cyberabad moved the greatest volume of treated water. Malkajgiri recorded 36 trips with 29 tankers, supplying more than 300 kilolitres.
The board is promoting treated sewage water for activities that do not require drinking-quality supplies. Construction sites, parks, gardens and landscaped areas can use treated water under the initiative, reducing the need to draw fresh water for purposes that do not involve human consumption.
The programme also places emphasis on daily monitoring. HMWS&SB officials will review the number of tankers deployed, trips completed, the quantity supplied and demand from government departments and private organisations in each region. These measures are intended to track both utilisation and demand as the initiative continues.
The second-day figures provide an early view of the operational scale of the programme: 79 tankers, 124 trips and 1,107 kilolitres supplied through 18 sewage treatment plants. The board’s ongoing monitoring will determine how demand develops across Hyderabad’s government and private users.
