With the onset of summer the water supply is gradually reduced. Water is also supplied on unstipulated timings. Although Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply & Sewerage Board has made arrangement for water supply through tankers at areas where water supply in insufficient but thanks to the corrupt officers of the department, citizens are yearning for a single drop of water, while the water tanker operators are doing roaring business by exploiting these resources.
According to reliable sources water tanker drivers, by giving bribe to general manager or deputy manager of the water supply board of old city, supply lakhs of litres of water to construction companies, industrial institutions, hotels and function halls. According to sources the Meeralam filter has nearly 25 tankers of 5000 litre each and 8 tankers of 10000 litres each. The tanker drivers (majority of the tanker owners belong to political parties), hand over a fixed DD to the respective managers and in return at least 7 trip water is supplied to the party.
