KARACHI: Karachi Mayor Barrister Murtaza Wahab has announced that the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) will install 20 reverse-osmosis (RO) plants in different villages across the city.
He made the announcement while speaking to the media after inaugurating a solar-powered water treatment plant in Darya Khan Gabol Goth, located in Gadap Town.
The mayor said the new plant will purify underground water using modern technology to make it safe for drinking. He added that the system will ensure a continuous and high-quality supply of clean water to nearby homes.
This is the first RO plant in Gadap that will provide clean drinking water at the doorstep of local residents. According to the mayor, the plant is already operational, and 15 new water lines have been installed in various streets to improve water supply in the area.
Barrister Wahab said the solar-powered RO plant uses low energy, reduces costs, and offers an environmentally friendly solution that will benefit thousands of people.
He added that a similar RO plant has been set up in Kemari’s Grex area, and more such projects will be launched in suburban localities to provide equal facilities across the city.
