The Karachi Water and Sewerage Corporation has announced a temporary suspension of water supply in several parts of the city from August 3 to August 5 due to upgrade work at the Gharo Old Pumping House.
The disruption will affect Ibrahim Hyderi, Landhi, Shah Faisal Colony, PAF Base Masroor and areas surrounding Karsaz.
According to the utility, the major technical phase of the upgrade will continue for 48 hours, starting at 10 am on August 3 and ending at 10 am on August 5.
