Water supply to several parts of Karachi resumed in phases after electricity was restored at the Dhabeji pumping station following a 22-hour outage caused by a cable fault. The disruption led to a 48 million gallon water shortfall, affecting areas like North Nazimabad, Nazimabad, and Gulberg Town. K-Electric confirmed the fault was internal and not related to their operations.

The Karachi Water and Sewerage Corporation warned that parts of Karachi may face water shortages due to a power breakdown at the Dhabeji pumping station, which caused three pumps to shut down and is expected to create a 75 million gallon per day shortfall. Affected areas include North Nazimabad, Nazimabad, Gulberg Town, New Karachi, Landhi, Korangi, and Scheme 33, with K-Electric working to resolve the cable fault.

A power failure at Dhabeji Pumping Station disrupted operations of Karachi Water and Sewerage Corporation (KWSC), reducing the city's water supply by 100 million gallons per day. Three major pumps at the K-2 Pumping Station were temporarily shut down, affecting areas like North Nazimabad and Federal B. Area. Emergency repairs are underway to restore water supply.

Karachi Water and Sewerage Corporation (KWSC) has formed a committee to propose increased tanker water rates due to rising diesel costs, exacerbating an existing gap between official and actual prices paid by residents. Tanker operators claim KWSC owes them over Rs4.14 billion in unpaid service charges, citing unviable current tariffs.

The K-IV project, a water supply scheme for Karachi first proposed in 2006, remains unfinished despite approval in 2014. Costs have risen sevenfold to Rs171 billion, with repeated delays, funding issues, and political interference. The latest completion deadline is December 2028, but experts predict further delays.
