KARACHI: K-Electric will carry out scheduled maintenance work at the Dhabeji substation and grid station under the Bin Qasim cluster on Monday, August 4. According to the spokesperson for the Karachi Water and Sewerage Corporation (KWSC), the maintenance activity will require a power shutdown lasting nine hours—from 10am to 7pm.
Due to the temporary power suspension, electricity supply to several feeders of the key Dhabeji pumping station will be partially affected. As a result, the city may face a shortfall of up to 100 million gallons of water on the same day.
Water supply in various areas, including Landhi, Korangi, Shah Faisal Colony, Bin Qasim, DHA, and North Nazimabad, is expected to be impacted.
