The interruption is necessary to carry out critical repair works on the Krishna Drinking Water Supply Scheme Phase-2, which serves as a major water source for the city. The scheduled maintenance includes fixing a leak in the 200 mm diameter MS pipe on the pumping main from Kodandapur to Godakandla, replacing damaged 2375 mm diameter MS air tees and valves, conducting junction works at Nasarlapally, and replacing damaged butterfly valves and Non-Return Valves (NRVs) in various locations.
