Most filtration plants in poor condition

ISLAMABAD:

Most water filtration plants in the federal capital are in bad condition with broken and leaking taps.    

The water filtration plants at F-6, G-6, G-7, I-10 and I-8  Sitara Market and G-8/2 area are in poor condition and a huge amount of water is wasted on a daily basis due to faulty and leaked tapes.

Ahmed Ali, a resident of F-6, said that the water filtration plant in his area has neither been repaired nor replaced by the authorities concerned.

Residents of various sectors have urged the authorities concerned to take immediate measures for timely provision of clean drinking water and maintenance of these faulty plants. Residents of G-7 sector said that it was the fundamental right of every citizen to have access to clean drinking water, but they still have to face the difficulty of getting it on time.
