HYDERABAD, July 18: Dis-trict Nazim Kanwar Naveed Jamil has said that the water supply system will be directly linked with an automatic changeover system under which the supply will not be affected even during the power loadshedding.

He was speaking at a meeting of officials of the Hyderabad Development Authority, Wasa, Hyderabad Development Package and Hesco at his secretariat on Friday.

Mr Jamil said all central pumping stations would be directly linked with a high-tension line through an automatic changeover switch system to ensure uninterrupted water supply to the people even during loadshedding.

He said a team of Wasa and Hesco officials had been constituted which would visit all the pumping stations and submit a report about the availability of electricity.

He pointed out that the HDA had already paid Rs2.826 million to Hesco for power connection.

He said Wasa had installed generators at pumping stations to meet any emergency but these generators did not have the capacity to continue operation during loadshedding period.
