Karachi water shortage of 130 million gallons on November 13
Karachi water shortage will leave the city about 130 million gallons short as K-Electric's 14-hour outage stops nine Dhabeji pumps, followed by a 22-hour maintenance.
K-Electric has scheduled a 14-hour power shutdown at the Dhabeji pumping station from 10am to midnight on November 13.
Nine of the station's 21 pumps will stop, cutting daily supply from around 650 million gallons to about 520 million gallons.
Six of the nine pumps restart when power returns at midnight, but Landhi, Korangi, Malir and Shah Faisal face partial disruption.
The KWSC's separate 22-hour maintenance follows, with three pumps out of service.
Residents of affected areas are advised to store water in advance and use it carefully.
