HMWSSB to roll out green tanker service to supply treated water in Hyderabad on November 1
The Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWSSB) plans to introduce a green tanker service on November 1 to distribute water treated at Sewage Treatment Plants (STP) for non-potable use. This initiative aims to conserve natural resources, particularly as Telangana may face a drinking water shortage due to the effects of El Nino.
The service will initially distribute treated water from 11 STPs through 21 green tankers, with a total of 100 tankers registered for the project. Priority will be given to government departments, parks, landscaping, construction sites, and industries. Special officers have been appointed to oversee water quality, filling point activities, tanker allocation, and supply.
The tankers will be painted green with the warning 'STP TREATED WATER – NOT FOR DRINKING' clearly visible.
