Tank and drum cleaning for Khyala’s resettlement blocks and village lanes — the low-roof shared tanks and the ground drums below them cleaned as one round, because Khyala homes store twice and clean half. From ₹1,500 per tank.
Khyala, behind Tilak Nagar, layers three old Delhis together: JJ-resettlement blocks, a village core, and industrial-edge lanes toward Raghubir Nagar. Homes are compact with low roofs carrying small shared tanks, and because DJB supply is timed to the morning, households store aggressively — roof tank above, ground drums below. That doubles every family’s storage, and doubles the surfaces silting up; in practice most homes clean the drums they can reach and never the tank, so half the storage stays permanently fouled.
KaamGenie’s Khyala service cleans the pair as one job — drums scrubbed and roof tank drained, de-sludged, jetted and disinfected in the same visit, so neither re-contaminates the other. The resettlement blocks book through their block committees or informal neighbour groups, pooling several homes’ tanks into one round at the multi-tank rate; certificates are per household. For individual bookings, see water tank cleaning in Khyala — this page covers the pooled block-and-lane rounds.
It is an access story. The ground drum sits in the courtyard where anyone can tip and scrub it; the roof tank sits above a low but awkward roof, reached by a ladder nobody enjoys, with a lid that may not have moved in years. So the drum gets an occasional wash and the tank gets none — even though the tank feeds the taps and the timed morning supply cycles it daily. The visible half of the system gets the attention; the half that matters gets the sediment.
A pooled round flips that. Our crew brings the ladder work, does tank and drums per home in under an hour, and moves down the row — a block committee booking eight homes gets all sixteen-plus vessels done in a day at ₹1,500 per tank with the pool discount, drums priced down by size. The block sees each home’s before photos, which is usually what convinces the holdouts to join the next round. On timed morning supply, a repeat every four to five months holds the standard.
No travel charge anywhere in Khyala. The final price is confirmed on the call before we come — it depends only on tank size and access.

Every locality in Delhi stores different water, and that decides how fast a tank fouls. This is Khyala’s profile from The Delhi Water Index, built from our field observations across 250+ localities.

“Can our resettlement block book as a group?” Yes — a block committee or just a few coordinating neighbours can pool any number of homes into one round. The crew works door to door on the agreed day, each home’s tank and drums are cleaned together, and every household gets its own certificate. The pool discount applies across the whole round.
“What do you charge for drums versus tanks?” Roof tanks are ₹1,500; ground drums are quoted down by size at the door — a standard courtyard drum is a fraction of the tank rate when done in the same visit. The pairing matters more than the price split: cleaning both is what keeps the water clean past the first fortnight.
“Our roof is low but the tank has not been opened in years — is that a problem?” It is exactly the tank we most often find in Khyala, and no, it is not a problem — the crew handles stuck lids, dark interiors and years of undisturbed sediment routinely. Expect striking before photos. The clean itself takes little longer than a maintained tank once we are in.
“Does the timed morning supply affect scheduling?” We plan around it: cleans run late morning and afternoon, after the day’s fill has been drawn down, so the tank is low when we drain it and refills clean on the next morning’s supply. No household loses a day’s water; most lose only what was already at the sludge line.
“Can you come the same day?” For one or two homes, usually yes if booked before 10 AM — Khyala is minutes off our Tilak Nagar route. Block rounds are set a few days out so every household can empty and be ready; urgent single homes need not wait for the block.
