Residents in some areas of jubilee hills are concerned about persistent water stagnation brought on by excessive concretization. They lament how this has eliminated space for groundwater to seep, causing floods in their communities every time it rains. "The sewage continues overflowing on the road and the rain water gets mixed with it. Due to the slope of jubilee hills Road No. 25, rainfall collects at its base where it joins Road No. 10.

After a downpour, it becomes hard to commute through these byways, according to S Vikas Rao, a resident of Road No. 25. He also noted that this affluent area of the city is plagued by municipal problems. A resident of Road No. 31 who echoed him, T Malti Devi, said: "The piled sewage generates an intolerable stink. It is really challenging for us to even leave our houses during the rains.

The issue, according to environmentalist BV Subba Rao, was caused by a lack of designated storm water drains. "Because the issue is pervasive, a simple solution is not possible. It's worse in certain low-lying locations. The city's sewage treatment strategy has to be overhauled immediately, he added. Officials at the GHMC, however, classified the problem as "general" and advised people to take care of it themselves. In order to reduce problems with water outflow, citizens should build rainwater pits, according to deputy city planner K srinivas Rao.
