Water supply to be disrupted in THESE areas in Karachi

Parts of Karachi will face water shortages on 13 November 2026, as electricity supply to the Dhabeji pumping station will remain suspended for 14 hours for annual maintenance.

According to the spokesperson for Karachi Water and Sewerage Corporation (KW&SC), K-Electric has announced a power shutdown at the Dhabeji grid station from 10:00 AM to midnight.

The shutdown will leave nine of the pumping station’s 21 pumps out of operation, reducing the city’s water supply by approximately 130 million gallons.

Karachi receives around 650 million gallons of water daily. However, the KW&SC says it will continue supplying approximately 520 million gallons during the power outage.

Areas likely to be affected include Landhi, Korangi, Malir, Shah Faisal, Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Clifton, Saddar, Lyari, Jinnah, Chaneser, Nazimabad, Liaquatabad and North Karachi.

Water supply will also be partially affected in parts of Nazimabad and Gulberg Town. The Landhi and Sherpao water hydrants will remain closed during the shutdown.

The KW&SC said that once electricity supply is restored and K-Electric completes its maintenance work, six of the nine suspended pumps will be brought back into operation.

Water supply will then return to normal in most affected areas, except Landhi, Korangi, Malir and Shah Faisal.

The KW&SC’s own annual maintenance work will continue for a further 22 hours after the power shutdown ends.

During this period, only three pumps will remain out of operation, with partial disruption expected in Landhi, Korangi, Malir and Shah Faisal.

The water corporation has urged residents in affected areas to store water in advance and use it carefully throughout the maintenance period.

It said water supplies would gradually return to normal once electricity was restored.
