Hyderabad: Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWSSB) Managing Director Ashok Reddy has directed officials not to compromise on the quality of treated water supplied from Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) under any circumstances. He emphasized the need to expand the use of treated water for non-drinking purposes such as construction, gardening and landscaping.

On Thursday, Ashok Reddy visited the Nanakramguda and Khajaguda STPs and inspected the water treatment process, quality standards, Green Water Tanker filling stations and water supply arrangements.

Continuous Monitoring of Water Quality
The MD instructed officials to conduct regular tests to ensure that treated water meets the prescribed standards for reuse. Parameters such as BOD, COD, TSS and pH must be monitored regularly, and the test results should be uploaded online. He stressed that every stage of the treatment process must be closely monitored and that there should be no negligence in maintaining water quality.

Improved Facilities for Water Tankers
Ashok Reddy directed officials to develop Green Water Tanker filling stations as model facilities. He called for improved internal roads, adequate space, and proper entry and exit routes to ensure smooth movement of tankers. Infrastructure should be developed to prevent traffic congestion even when multiple tankers arrive at the same time and to ensure faster filling operations.

Electronic Display Boards at STPs
The MD instructed officials to install electronic display boards at every STP to publicly display treated water quality details. Parameters such as BOD, COD, TSS and pH should be displayed on digital screens to ensure transparency and build confidence among consumers.

Ashok Reddy stated that increasing the reuse of treated water would help conserve valuable drinking water resources. He directed officials to encourage construction companies, commercial establishments and bulk consumers to use treated water for all non-potable requirements. STP CGM Padmaja, GM Subba Rayudu and other officials participated in the inspection.
