HMWSSB Warns of Strict Action Against Misuse of Board Logo on Private Tankers

The Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWS&SB) has warned of strict legal action against private water tanker operators found misusing the board’s official logo while supplying water to consumers. 

The board said it recently noticed that some private tanker owners were illegally displaying the official logo, creating the false impression that the water supplied was part of government-authorised



service.

Officials stated that the board’s logo is an official government identification mark and its unauthorised use is a violation of law, besides misleading the public and damaging trust in official services.

The board clarified that water supplied through private tankers is generally sourced from borewells and is neither treated according to official standards nor subjected to quality testing. Authorities cautioned that consumption of such water may pose serious health risks.
