The Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWS&SB) has officially initiated a project to survey all Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) located within the city limits. The primary objective of this assessment is to evaluate the functionality, capacity, and maintenance requirements of the city's wastewater treatment facilities.

While the announcement confirms the scope of the survey—covering all STPs under the board's jurisdiction—specific details regarding the timeline for completion or the specific criteria for the assessment have not been publicly disclosed. The board intends to use the data gathered from this survey to identify gaps in sewage management and potentially plan for future upgrades or repairs to the infrastructure. This move comes as part of ongoing efforts to improve urban sanitation and environmental compliance in Hyderabad, ensuring that wastewater is treated effectively before being discharged. No other agencies or independent environmental groups have yet provided a counter-assessment or additional data regarding the current state of these plants, leaving the board's internal report as the primary source of information on the project's progress.
