Scheduled maintenance at Dhabeji pumping station is expected to reduce Karachi’s water supply.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

KARACHI, November 13, 2026:<\/strong> Residents of Karachi are expected to face a temporary shortage of water following scheduled maintenance work and an electricity shutdown at the Dhabeji pumping station.<\/p>\n

According to a report published by Dawn, the Karachi Water and Sewerage Corporation (KWSC) has warned that the city’s daily water supply could decline by approximately 130 million gallons during the maintenance period.<\/p>\n

The disruption is linked to scheduled maintenance work being carried out by K-Electric in coordination with the water utility.<\/p>\n

Water Supply Expected to Drop by 130 Million Gallons<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Karachi normally receives approximately 650 million gallons of water per day.<\/p>\n

However, during the scheduled shutdown, the supply is expected to decrease to approximately 520 million gallons per day.<\/p>\n

The reduction could affect households and businesses across different parts of the city.<\/p>\n

The Dhabeji pumping station is an important part of Karachi’s water distribution system, supplying water to the metropolitan area.<\/p>\n

Electricity Shutdown Scheduled for 14 Hours<\/strong><\/h3>\n

According to the KWSC spokesperson quoted by Dawn, electricity supply to the Dhabeji Grid Station is scheduled to remain suspended on November 13 for annual maintenance.<\/p>\n

The shutdown is planned to begin at 10:00 am and continue until midnight, lasting approximately 14 hours.<\/p>\n

The maintenance work is being carried out by K-Electric in coordination with the water utility.<\/p>\n

Residents Advised to Manage Water Supplies<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Residents may experience pressure reductions and delays in water distribution during the maintenance period.<\/p>\n

Households, hospitals, businesses and other institutions that depend on regular water supplies may need to make temporary arrangements.<\/p>\n

Residents are advised to use available water carefully and avoid unnecessary consumption during the disruption.<\/p>\n

When Will Normal Water Supply Resume?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The scheduled electricity shutdown is expected to end at midnight on November 13.<\/p>\n

However, the restoration of normal water distribution may depend on the operational status of pumping equipment and the time required to restore the regular supply system.<\/p>\n

Residents should follow announcements from the Karachi Water and Sewerage Corporation and K-Electric for further updates.<\/p>\n

The situation highlights the importance of reliable electricity and pumping infrastructure in maintaining water supplies to one of Pakistan’s largest cities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
