The Karachi Water & Sanitation Corporation (KW&SC) spokesperson said on Wednesday that the power failure at the Dhabeji pumping station had still not been fixed, even after 18 hours.
The spokesperson explained that the outage had seriously disrupted the water supply to many areas of the city.
In an official statement, the Water Corporation noted that the backup cable at the station also stopped working. The breakdown took place at the 100 MG pump house late last night.
He added, “The power breakdown occurred at 11:30 pm, due to which the 100 MG pump house has been completely closed.” This pump house usually delivers 100 million gallons of water per day to the city.
