Q:I’ll be moving to Hyderabad soon. I have heard the city faces a lot of water problems? I want to know exactly what is the scenario here. Can anybody help me out please?
Latest Answer: Hey, I would definitely advise you to go for double filtered water purified systems in your house, because most of the water in this city is not fit for consumption. The Pollution Control Board (PCB) have actually tested the water. They also are strongly advising treateing that water before drinking it. In some colonies of Banjara Hills, this tested water has revealed traces of bacteria, and even arsenic contamination. The funny thing is that even the water board HMWS&SB are shirking all responsibilities and claiming that the water is clean, even when it is clearly not.
Q:For outsiders, Hyderabad food is famous for its spice and the weather for its intensity of heat during summer. I’ve heard of some issues related to water as well as some electricity in Hyderabad. Someone please educate me more on the same.
Latest Answer: Water shortage and electricity problems are commonly faced during summer time by the residents of Hyderabad living in middle-class and lower-class localities. Since hydroelectricity becomes hard to obtain during summer, electricity shortage is somewhat prevalent throughout the city. I’d say that these issues can be lived with as long as you find alternate sources to manage yourself within the given constraints. Residents of Bholakpur and Malkajgiri have faced some water problems in recent times.
