Hyderabad: The Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWSSB) seized eight illegal water motors during inspections at Dharmareddy Colony in KPHB on Thursday, September 3.
The vigilance team inspected the Balajinagar Ward, Division 22, under the Kukatpally Zone in the morning houts. During the checks, officials identified and seized eight motors being used illegally.
According to the HMWSSB, some people install motors on water pipelines during the water supply period to draw water. Such use can reduce the amount of water available to other consumers and also affect the supply system.
The board said inspections against illegal water motor use will continue in the area.
It also warned that action will be taken against people who violate the rules by using water motors illegally. The inspection was carried out on September 3, 2026, as part of the vigilance team’s checks against unauthorised motor use.
