KARACHI: Karachi is facing a shortfall of around 130 million gallons of water per day (MGD) as K-Electric (KE) began its annual maintenance work at the Dhabeji Pumping Station on Friday, temporarily suspending power supply to several pump houses.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to a spokesperson for the Karachi Water and Sewerage Corporation (KWSC), the maintenance-related shutdown will last 14 hours, from 10am to midnight on November 13.<\/p>\n

The spokesperson said nine of the 21 pumps at Dhabeji had become temporarily non-operational due to the power suspension, while the remaining 12 pumps continued supplying water to the city.<\/p>\n

Karachi normally receives around 650 MGD of water daily. However, supplies have dropped to approximately 520 MGD during the maintenance shutdown, resulting in a shortfall of around 130 MGD.<\/p>\n

The spokesperson added that water supply from the Hub Pumping Station was continuing as usual.<\/p>\n

The temporary disruption is affecting water supply to Landhi, Korangi, Malir, Shah Faisal, Gulshan, Clifton, Saddar and Lyari.<\/p>\n

Supplies to Jinnah, Chanesar, Liaquatabad and North Karachi towns are also being affected, while Nazimabad and Gulberg are experiencing partial disruptions.<\/p>\n

The spokesperson further said that the Landhi and Sherpao hydrants would remain closed during the shutdown.<\/p>\n

Water supply from Dhabeji will be gradually restored once electricity is resumed, the KWSC spokesperson added.<\/p>\n
