Karachi May 22: Nazim Karachi Syed Mustafa Kamal has appealed to citizens to pay the bills of Karachi Water and Sewerage Board on time so that the financial problems of board could be solved and it could serve the citizens in an even better way.

He said this while addressing a high level meeting of the Karachi Water & Sewerage Board on Friday.

The meeting which was called to review and discuss the performance of Karachi Water & Sewerage Board and other issues including water and sewerage problems was attended by special representative of City Nazim for KWSB Muhammad Moin Khan, Imamuddin Shahzad, M.D KWSB Qutub-uddin Shaikh and chief engineers. Nazim Karachi on this occasion said that the city was facing more water and sewerage related problems three years ago. Haq Parast leadership has solved these problems up to a great extent and supplied water to even those areas of the city which never had such network before.

He said that KWSB is presently facing financial problems and it needs resources for solution of city’s problems. The recovery of water board bills has not been satisfactory; therefore all citizens should voluntarily cooperate with the board and pay their bills regularly.

Nazim Karachi said that the KWSB has spent a huge sum of Rs.30 billion on the rehabilitation and improvement of water and sewerage infrastructure in Karachi which has more than 90 percent problems of the citizens. Now it needs the resources to maintain, improve and repair this infrastructure.
