WD News: Municipal minister K.T. Rama Rao has said that by the end of August, every drop of sewage produced in the city would be treated, making Hyderabad the first city in the country to have 100 percent sewage treatment. He said that in Mumbai only nine percent of sewage is being treated.
Dana Kishore, Managing Director of Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWSSB) said that Rs 18,000 crore was spent on drinking water and related projects in the last nine years.
“Already 20,000 litres of drinking water is being supplied free of charge every month within GHMC limits. When the Sunkishala intake well project, which is currently under construction near Nagarjuna Sagar is completed, there will be no drinking water woes for future generations,” he said.
