Water supply across Karachi has returned to normal after the Karachi Water and Sewerage Corporation (KWSC) finished maintenance at the Dhabeji pumping station, a corporation spokesperson said. All 21 pumps at the site are now running.
Supply in areas including Landhi, Korangi, Malir and Shah Faisal Town is still being brought back to normal step by step, the spokesperson added.

The spokesperson said the work included installing valves and repairing supply lines at several key points. At Dhabeji, a new 60-inch diameter valve was fitted, and the pump houses, operating system and the valve on Line No. 1 were serviced. The internal supply line of the staff colony was also fixed.
