@Latha For water, also check with watchmen or existing residents. Builders will always say “Manjeera water available” but it’s usually tankers 10 months a year.

@Pavanreddy How do you even verify if there's a municipal connection? Builder showed us a pipeline and said it’s coming “soon”.

@mangoman Ask for water connection receipt from HMWSSB. If they can’t show that, it’s tankers, borewells and prayers.

@Pavanreddy True that. My project in Nallagandla promised 24x7 municipal supply. It's been 2 years of tanker wars in summer.
