The Karachi Water and Sewerage Board (KWSB) has reduced the timeframe for obtaining commercial connections, and applicants will now be able to receive water and sewerage connections in 21 days, compared to 61 days. The notification outlines only six steps for commercial connections, compared 27 steps mentioned in the previous KWSB SOP.
The KWSB has waived the requirement of property tax valuation form PT-1 for new connection applications. The PT-1 was a prerequisite for applications previously. The KWSB has also reduced the number of accompanying documents required to apply for connections to four from eight previously.
