Engineering Review talks to Mr. Shahab Usto,
the lead petitioner in
water and sewerage case
KWSB’s 16 hydrants in Karachi provide just 1 percent of water. Isn’t it surprising? The board earns Rs.1 billion {through corruption} from that 1 percent water. If we add up 20 to 25 percent stolen water into the system, the situation would greatly change provided corrupt practices are stopped. Almost everyone in the industry had taken unauthorized lines which were illegal. Now they are unearthed and are being brought under regulation.
