  "account": "Construction firms in the Hyderabad metropolitan region are increasingly adopting treated water for non-potable purposes through the HMWS&SB’s green water tanker program. High-rise gated communities on the Outer Ring Road have begun utilizing water from the Kokapet Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) for construction tasks since the previous week, according to officials. A local project consumes between 90,000 and 1,20,000 liters of treated water daily via three to four trips by green water tankers. The water is mainly utilized for concrete curing and gardening. MMC Commissioner T. Vinay Krishna Reddy inaugurated the supply at a construction site within the Malkajgiri Municipal Corporation's jurisdiction to promote the initiative and wider acceptance. Water Board officials are encouraging construction companies, real estate developers, commercial complexes, and apartment associations to use treated water for construction, gardening, and landscaping activities.",
