HMWSSB rectifies major sewerage overflow
Hyderabad, March 31 (INN): The Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply & Sewerage Board (HMWSSB) has informed that the sewerage overflow at Chintalabasthi into second cellar of Moghul Emami Mansion has been rectified today afternoon employing three Air-Tech Machines since yesterday night.
The sewage water entered into the cellar through the sewerage connection connected to the manhole at 900 to the channel level of the Trunk sewer due to chokage of Trunk sewer near Shadan College on the downstream side.
Two manhole covers on the main road at Shadan College were buried under the road recently about a month back and it became difficult to locate the manholes and caused delay in repair work of clearing choakage. Lumps of plastic bags and other fibrous were found in the sewerage line clogging the silt and causing stagnation of sewage in the pipeline. After cleaning the obstructions, sewerage passed freely and the overflow in to the cellar stopped, the Board said today.
Customers have been requested not to dump waste materials like plastic bags and fibrous items etc., in to sewer lines which causes clogging and overflow on roads and backflow into premises.
'The other service departments including Hyderabad Metropolitan Rail Ltd while doing their works and laying BT/CC road covering the inspection manholes on the main roads. It is very difficult to locate such manholes on the main roads, due to which, it is very difficult to clean the sewer lines. It is therefore advised to all other service depts such as HMRL, GHMC, R&B departments/National Highways to give instructions/provide conditions in the works contract not to cover such manholes in future,' the Board said.
