ISLAMABAD: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) is planning to install water meters across Islamabad to control water loss and reduce non-revenue water.
In a recent meeting, officials shared that consultants will first conduct a detailed survey and prepare a study for the water meter project.
The CDA also plans to upgrade all water pumps and motors to energy-efficient systems under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. This step aims to cut electricity costs for Islamabad Water.
CDA Chairman Muhammad Ali Randhawa, who chaired the meeting, said the savings from these measures would help reduce CDA’s financial burden. The funds saved will be used to improve water services in the city.
