Karachi is preparing for a major temporary water disruption on November 13 as scheduled maintenance at Dhabeji reduces pumping capacity. Dawn reported that nine of 21 pumps would be unavailable during a 14-hour electricity shutdown, with estimated supply falling from around 650 million gallons to 520 million gallons. Residents in several districts may face reduced supply, and four areas could experience a longer period of partial disruption during follow-up maintenance. The utility has advised residents to store sufficient water in advance and use it carefully. Check local updates for restoration information.
