HYDERABAD: The deadline for fixing meters has been extended again for the second time by the city Water Board. Consumers who hadn’t fixed the meters yet have been informed by the board that double the present demand fee would be charged by it if they fail to do so by the end of October. The director of Operations and Maintenance of HMWS&SB, Mr. G Rameshwar Rao said that, those who still continue to receive water without fixing meters would receive double the bill amount and special teams would be deployed to identify violators, HMWSSB was having a mechanism to identify supplies that were not metered, adding that, so far 23,652 applications had been received to fix meters from BPL and Non – BPL families and that would be the last and final chance for regularizing water supply connections.
