Overview
- KWSC reported a 884 million-gallon shortfall from November 1–23, attributing the losses to repeated K-Electric outages that halted pumping operations.
- Station-level losses included 424 million gallons at Dhabeji after 132 hours 20 minutes without power, 111 million at Dumlottee after 146 hours, and 335 million at North East Karachi.
- Smaller deficits were recorded at Hub and Pipri at 6 million gallons each, with 2 million at Gharo, underscoring widespread but uneven impacts across the network.
- The utility warned that frequent shutdowns risk damaging pumping machinery and called for alternate feeders, standby cables, and technical upgrades to bolster reliability.
- KWSC said citywide supply has returned to normal after power was restored, as coordination with K-Electric continues, while a North Karachi protest highlighted ongoing resident frustration and a public blame exchange over causes.
