HMWSSB imposes a fine of ₹20,000 on pub in Jubilee Hills for wasting water
The Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWSSB) has fined a pub in Jubilee Hills ₹20,000 for water misuse. The Forefathers pub on Road No. 45 was cited for using piped water to wash the front area, an act deemed illegal by the Board. In response to the complaint, HMWSSB disconnected the pub's drinking water connection and suspended commercial water tanker supplies.
The organization emphasized stringent action against establishments found wasting or misusing water, especially with the approaching summer. Residents and commercial entities such as hotels, restaurants, and pubs were urged to conserve water responsibly. The public was encouraged to report incidents of water wastage via HMWSSB's WhatsApp number, 9949930003, or via phone at 155313.
Reports would be handled confidentially, and violators would face penalties and water supply disconnection.
