The civic agency has been working tirelessly to improve water supply in the city for last few months. In this regard, leakages in the supply lines have been fixed in addition to replacement of pipe lines in different areas of the city. Similarly, damaged portions of conduction lines of tubewells have also been repaired that has resulted in increase of water supply in different areas.

An official informed that they have successfully completed the repair work and now the water is being supplied to the residential sectors through this water treatment plant. “We have examined the quality of water and it is up to the mark. The residents have also shown their satisfaction over restoration of supply of water that was suspended for quite some time,” he said.

He said “Water Management staff members are also cleaning the clarifier water tanks at water works to ensure clean drinking water to residents of Islamabad.” The official said “We have also completed rehabilitation work at Simly Dam that is one of the main sources of clean drinking water. The efforts are underway to address the issue of illegal connections because it is also interrupting smooth supply of water.”
