Karachi likely to face another spell of water shortage

KARACHI: The residents of Karachi are likely to face another spell of water shortage due to another leak in the 84-inch pipeline at the Dhabeji Pumping Station, that was recently prepared.

Earlier on December 3, the pipeline was damaged at two places during the construction of the Red Line project which had left the city without water for eight days.

According to reports, the pipeline has developed a new leak for the second time due to which water is being accumulated in a trench.  

Karachi Water and Sewerage Corporation (KW&SC) has yet to decide whether to suspend the water supply to the city for repairs or make the necessary repairs with a continuous supply.

The pipeline supplies 2.5 billion gallons of water to the city.
