In order to facilitate hassle-free registration for the free drinking water scheme, Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWS&SB) has suspended the issue of water-cum-sewerage bills for domestic consumers up to August 15.

Under the scheme, 2.5 lakh households with water meters and 2 lakh slum households will receive free 20,000 litres per month. Consumers who register before August 15 or have already registered to avail the scheme, will get a rebate of up to 20 KL on water bills till August

To be eligible for the scheme, a consumer should link Aadhaar and have a functional water meter, however, meters are not required for consumers if their locality falls under the slum category. For people living in apartments,



consumers need to link Aadhaar for individual flats against their property tax identification (PTIN) number.

Only the flats linked against PTIN number and Consumer Account Number (CAN) number on or before August 15 will be eligible for the scheme. Consumers who register post-August 15 will be served with the water bill from December 2020 to August 2021. Interest will not be levied on such consumers and they need to pay the bill in September.

Water board in a release said that Aadhaar registration can be done at Mee-Seva centres or by visiting water board website www.hyderabadwater.gov.in. People can also get their doubts cleared by dialing 155313- the customer care number of the water board.
