Water connections cut off in THESE areas of Karachi

The Karachi Water and Sewerage Corporation (KW&SC) has suspended water supply in four union councils of the historic Lyari area after a leak developed in a 24-inch pipeline.

According to officials, Union Councils 9, 10, 11 and 12 have been affected by the disruption, while water supply to the rest of Lyari Town continues as normal.

The Water Corporation said its engineering and technical teams are carrying out emergency repair work.

The repairs are expected to take between 36 and 48 hours, after which supply to the affected areas will be restored in phases.

On the other hand, the KW&SC has also launched a crackdown on consumers with outstanding bills.

During the action, KW&SC teams have blocked connections and sealed the premises of several commercial and industrial establishments.

In Landhi Town’s Sector 28, authorities disconnected  connections to several commercial and industrial defaulters.

Officials said the businesses owe over Rs. 40 million in unpaid charges.
