Karachi (HRNW) A new Karachi Water and Sewerage Board report on water quality has revealed that 70 percent of its pumping stations are supplying water containing either low or no chlorine, which is a defense from Naegleria Fowleri, a brain-eating amoeba that swiftly kills and has claimed two lives recently in the city.
KWSB took samples from all its pumping stations after the Sindh Directorate of General Health Services recommended checking how the water is being chlorinated and if the levels at all major water reservoirs were meeting WHO standards.
The findings were submitted to the World Bank-initiated Karachi Water Sewerage Service Improvement Project (KWSSIP). It emerged that 87 out of Karachi’s 123 pumping stations were supplying water with low or no chlorine.
