The Hyderabad Water Board officials, on Friday, April 11, conducted inspections in parts of the Moosarambagh locality and seized 8 motors that were illegally attached to the water pipeline impacting the supply.
This action was part of the four-phase inspection drive under the initiative titled ‘Motor-Free Top Water’, aimed at ensuring uninterrupted and fair water supply across Hyderabad by curbing the illegal use of electric motors during the peak summer season.
Officials stated that using electric motors to draw excess water disrupts the supply and causes low pressure for other consumers. They warned that any repeat offence will attract a fine of Rs. 5,000 along with legal action
