Hyderabad | Saturday | 21st July, 2018

Summary:

The water board is also hamstrung by finances.The water board has laid two types of sewer network, include E-main, covering East Marredpally, and M-main covering West Marredpally. SECUNDERABAD: After more than 50 years, the sewerage network in Marredpally continues to be in a shambles. We deploy mini tech jetting machines to clean the choked sewer network,” official said. “Laying of sewer trunks, outlet and inlet sewer network and construction of manholes have been proposed in the DPR,” water board general manager, O&M division-VII (Marredpally), D Sudarshan told TOI.The main problem facing this residential hub, a senior official said, is that “the existing sewer network cannot carry the load of sewer water of burgeoning residential colonies” . A duplicate M-Main was laid between Marredpally via Bible House, Secunderabad, up to Fever Hospital Jn via Ashok Nagar at Nallagutta , and Marredpally.Though the water board was ready to extend sewer network to more colonies in Marredpally, rock formations and denial of permissions for roadcutting have hindered work, a senior HMWS&SB official told TOI..
