KARACHI: In a major development and a sigh of relief for the inhabitants of the port city, the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) has decided to end water supply through tankers and hydrants across the city.
Karachi Mayor Murtaza Wahab, while chairing a meeting on Tuesday, directed the Karachi Water and Sewerage Corporation (KWSC) to develop an alternative system to provide water to residents through pipelines, gradually shutting down all seven hydrants operating in the megacity.
“All hydrants in Karachi will be phased out, and water will be supplied to citizens through pipelines,” Wahab said, adding that arrangements should be made to deliver water to people’s doorsteps through proper line connections.
This is a developing story and is being updated with more details.
