Overview
- K-Electric scheduled a 12-hour shutdown at the Dhabeji Substation and Grid Station today from 8am to 8pm, pausing power to several feeders that run the Dhabeji pumping station.

- Approximately 550 million gallons are still expected to be delivered citywide during the maintenance window, according to the utility.
- Areas likely to face low pressure or delays include Landhi, Korangi, Shah Faisal, DHA, Chanesar Town, Jinnah Town, North Nazimabad, and Gulberg Town.
