CDA struggles to overcome problems of water supply

Islamabad Property:
The Capital Development Authority (CDA) is still struggling to overcome problems in water supply to various sectors.
CDA Chairman Syed Tahir Shahbaz Thursday said that power generators would be installed at the sites of tube wells in Islamabad in a few days to ensure smooth water supply to the residents.
He said that a mobile generator of 250KVA of the CDA Sports and Culture Directorate has already been shifted to the Sector G-10 water tanker filling point, which would help in reducing water complaints. In addition to this, water tankers of the Environment and Sports & Culture Wings have already been handed over to the Water Management Wing.
CDA Chairman Syed Tahir Shahbaz said this while talking to journalists on the occasion of launching ceremony of the sector-wise ‘Clean and Green Islamabad’ campaign in Sector F-11 here on Thursday.
The CDA chairman said that in order to control water shortage in some sectors of Islamabad Property, the CDA has taken sound steps. He said that the repair and maintenance of all off-road water tankers is under process and the CDA management has already released funds.
He said that the cooperation and participation of residents in the ongoing ‘Clean and Green Islamabad’ campaign is commendable and CDA needs same cooperation and sense of responsibility from residents to cope with the water shortage issue.
The CDA chairman said that he is monitoring the water situation on daily basis and the issue will be controlled in a few days. He said that as sufficient water stock is available in Khanpur and Simly reservoirs, the CDA has increased supply of water from Simly Dam to cope with the shortage of water supplied through tube wells.
Syed Tahir Shahbaz said that the sector-wise ‘Clean and Green Islamabad’ campaign was started about one and a half months back from Sector I-10 and phase-wise shifted to different sectors of Islamabad Property.
