Eight Illegal Water Motors Seized During KPHB Inspections
Water officials in Hyderabad found eight pumps being used without permission.
They seized the pumps during an inspection in the KPHB area.
The inspection happened after residents complained about water being taken directly from main pipes.
Some people attach pumps while water is being supplied.
This can let them take more water than others.
It can also lower water pressure in the pipes.
Nearby families may then receive less water.
Officials said they will keep checking the area.
People who use such pumps in the future may face legal action and large fines.
The Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board seized eight illegal water motors in Dharmareddy Colony, KPHB.
The inspections took place on Thursday in Balajinagar Ward, Division-22, under Kukatpally zone.
The vigilance raid followed complaints about unauthorised suction directly from main pipelines.
Officials said pumps used during supply hours can reduce network pressure and deprive neighbouring residents of water.
The Board warned of continued inspections, legal action and potentially several rupees in fines for future violations.
