Karachi Water and Sewerage Board (KWSB) on Wednesday said that several areas in Karachi will face disruption in water supply from December 18 to 21.
Responding as to why the 72-hour disruption will occur, a KWSB spokesperson said cleaning and repairing of the Hub Canal would be underway during these dates.
“Water supply in District West will be affected for 72 hours,” the spokesperson was quoted as saying by a local media.
The KWSB spokesperson, however, said that alternate arrangements are being made for supplying water to the district.
“Due to the special arrangements, District West’s water supply will not be affected completely,” it said.
The spokesperson advised the area’s residents to begin storing water and use it wisely.
Meanwhile, Karachi faced a temporary suspension in gas supply in seven areas on Sunday, Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) had said in a statement issued on Twitter.
The gas company said it is undertaking looping work for a 15 kilometre long 20 inch dia interlink of Shershah Main and Gas Turbine Main on December 13.
