Osman Nagar reservoirs getting ready for inauguration
The twin reservoirs at Osman Nagar in Patancheru constituency, built with 4 ML and 2 ML capacities, to provide drinking water to villages, residential colonies and gated communities along the Outer Ring Road (ORR) are getting ready for inauguration.
Built at a cost of ₹30 crore, under the ORR phase 2 and package 2 project, the reservoirs will provide drinking water to nearly 1 lakh people in the area. So far, 55 bulk connections are planned and 22 km of distribution pipelines have been laid. With this facility, Tellapur municipality's drinking needs will be fully met.

The completed works so far include distribution lines, reservoir construction, inlet and outlet works, electrical works and the chlorine room. The Board has also recently conducted trial runs.
According to officials, assessing the need of the service area, a water audit has also been conducted. Flow meters, to track usage of water and identify transmission losses, have been installed.
Smart valve system
The Board is also implementing its smart valve system on an experimental basis here. A similar method is also in operation in Sanathnagar.
Through this solar-powered smart system, valve operations can be enabled via a mobile application. It also gives insights about water quality, quantity and chlorine levels.
For supervision, the same readings of will be relayed and accessible to the main dashboard in real time set up at the head office. The system is set such that the user will be alerted online if the chlorine level in the water drops from the set standard.
The Osman Nagar facility will be spruced up with gardening, signboards, solar-powered lighting, paintings and CCTV network for live monitoring.
