KARACHI: Water leakage from pump house

Published December 31, 2001

KARACHI, Dec 30: Water coming out from the KWSB’s pump house, near North Nazimabad’s Five-Star Hotel, has flooded a major portion of the road that links Federal-B Area with North Nazimabad, causing hindrance to the smooth flow of traffic.

Attributing the cause of water leakage to a faulty valve, the KWSB’s superintending engineer (water trunk mains), Najam Alam Siddiqui, said the valve had been repaired late on Friday.

He claimed that water supply to almost entire city has been normalized on Saturday as the level of water at the COD filter plant reached to 128 feet.

The water supply position in the city had deteriorated on Tuesday in the wake of short supply of 200 million gallons of water from all the three major pumping stations — Dhabeji, Pipri and Gharo — and since then various parts of the city have either remained without water or received scant supply.
