Restaurant in Hyderabad faces action for illegal sewerage connection

Hyderabad: In a recent development, the Hyderabad Metro Water Supplies & Sewerage Board (HMWSSB) has taken action against a restaurant in Hyderabad for illegally acquiring a sewerage connection without the necessary permissions.

The owners of King’s Restaurant, located in Mehdipatnam under the jurisdiction of HMWSSB O&M Division-3, had installed an unauthorized 250 mm diameter sewerage pipeline connection. The excessive sewage generated by the restaurant led to frequent overflows, creating sanitation issues on the main road.
