The Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWSSB) was constituted under the HMWSSB Act, 1989, to plan, construct, operate, and maintain water supply and sewerage services across the Hyderabad metropolitan area. The Board serves millions of citizens across expanding urban zones, managing bulk water transport from major reservoirs, including the Krishna and Godavari river pipelines.
