The 72 inch dia water main supplying water from Dhabeji to Karachi suddenly burst following suspension of power supply at 6 am Tuesday and as a result the city received 22 Mgd less water. A KWSB spokesman said that water Board staff reached the site of burst immediately and started repair work with supply of water to the city through alternate sources.
KWSB said this line was laid in 1958 and could not endure water pressure. The spokesman said that repair work would be completed during the next 72 hours.
