Hyderabad Residents Complain About Low Water Pressure
Imagine you need water to take a bath, but only a little bit trickles out of the tap.
That's what's happening to many people in Hyderabad.
They're not getting enough water because the pressure is too low.
This is happening in several areas, even though they used to get enough water.
One reason is that there are more houses now than when the water pipes were built.
Some people also use powerful motors to suck up more water, which leaves less for others.
The water company is aware of the problem and is trying to fix it, but it's taking time.
Residents in Hyderabad are experiencing low water pressure in several areas.
Affected areas include Kukatpally, Pragati Nagar, Nizampet, LB Nagar, and Madhapur.
Residents report insufficient water timings and pressure, impacting daily life.
Increased demand and outdated infrastructure contribute to the problem.
Water Board officials cite illegal motor usage as another cause.
