HMWS&SB to deploy 170 new mini water tankers in Hyderabad

Following the severe water crisis, the Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWS&SB) has decided to deploy its new fleet of 170 mini water tankers to ensure faster delivery of water to consumers. Each tanker will have a capacity of 2,500 liters.

As of now, the water board delivers supply to consumers through tankers of various capacities, including 5,000 liters,



10,000 liters, and 25,000 liters. With its existing 540 registered tankers, the board added another 300 private tankers to meet the city’s drinking water demand. The number will touch 100 after the 170 tankers are added to the fleet.

On April 13, municipal administration principal secretary M. Dana Kishore said, “These mini tankers can easily pass through congested and narrow roads.”
