The plants had been transferred to the Sindh government from federal government in 2005.
The CM further asked Hotiana to submit the report with recommendations to make the plants functional for the betterment of the people.
Shah was presiding over a meeting regarding clean drinking water initiatives held at CM House Karachi on Thursday.
The CM said that the scheme for clean drinking water was conceived by federal government, perhaps in 2005, and had started installation of clean drinking filter plants at different cities and towns. But later, the plants were transferred to the Sindh government with many parts missing in most of them.
He said that at the time neither any organisation gave real ownership to these plants nor provided operational and maintenance mechanism for them, and as a result, the plants deteriorated and became non-functional.
He said that such facilities and plants could be used in areas where people are experiencing difficulties in obtaining fresh, clean and sweet drinking water.
