I live in the area of North Nazimabad. The water we are getting from the tap appears to be not clean. Maybe the water supply comes to us from a source which is near to some polluted area. For instance, I have seen that there are some chemical factories in the area which discharge their chemical effluents into the supply source.
Also, it has been found that the water pipelines are laid so close to the drainage system and the drain water might have gotten into the water pipeline at some point, due to wear and tear of the corroded pipelines.
It is hoped that the concerned authorities will take suitable action soon to rectify the problem. If necessary, a sample of the water can be supplied for evaluation.
