Karachi Mayor Announces End to Water Supply Through Tankers and Hydrants

Karachi Mayor Murtaza Wahab has announced the decision to end water supply through tankers and hydrants in the city.

In this regard, he has issued a formal notification to the Water Corporation, directing authorities to ensure that water is supplied to citizens directly at their doorsteps through pipeline connections.

The move aims to improve the official water distribution system and reduce reliance on alternative sources.

The mayor stated that tanker-based water supply is not a permanent solution and has caused significant difficulties for residents.

He acknowledged that hydrants generate approximately Rs30 crore in monthly revenue, but emphasized that the priority is to provide a fair, transparent, and sustainable water supply system for Karachi’s citizens.
