This refers to the letter published on January 4th, 2019 regarding water issue in North Karachi.
I agree with the writer, Mr. Naveed Ahmed, but with some addition that the residents of sector-8 have been experiencing scarcity of water for the last several months and now-a-days valve man supply water to the residents of sector-8 once in 15 days.
Residents of sector-8 have never experienced such scarcity of water ever before and used to get water thrice in a week but the situation has changed drastically.
After every 15 days water is supplied to the residents of sector-8 which remained open for back to back 3-4 days.
As a result, water is wasted because underground water tanks fill in a day while water is kept coming for 3-4 days.
An application was written to the concerned Executive Engineer of KW&SB with a copy to Chairman Water Board and Commission but situation has not yet improved.
Supply of water could easily be managed if they supply water twice in a week instead of supplying water for continuous 3-4 days after every 15 days.
Wasting water in such scarcity is not affordable in any condition.
Concerned authorities should look into this matter and resolve the issue at the earliest.
