Sector G-7 residents on Wednesday demanded the concerned authorities to immediately repair the area’s water filtration plant so they can get a clean drinking water supply.
Many residents said that the water filtration plants in their area were not sterile and people faced a shortage of potable water because most plants have been shut down due to non-payment to contractors by the authorities.
The residents claimed that the issue had been reported repeatedly to the Capital Development Authority (CDA) but to no avail.
The situation is worst in the filtration plants of Sector G-7/1, G-7/3 and G-7/4 as Sector G-10 residents also use the same plant, which is not enough for all these sectors.
Sector G-7/1 resident Zahid Khan said that residents often returned empty handed from the filtration plants as clean drinking water was not available.
The residents demanded that the CDA renovate the plants as soon as possible.
Sector G-7/1 residents complained that their fundamental rightto clean drinking water was being violated as the CDA seemed in no hurry to install a new filtration plant.
A CDA official told that that the authority would replace the faulty filtration plants soon. He advised the residents to avoid misusing and wasting clean drinking water.
