On February 17, 2026, Mayor of Karachi, Barrister Murtaza Wahab, announced significant improvements in the city's water supply system during the inauguration of upgraded pumping stations in Jinnah Town. He highlighted that the installation of new high-capacity pumps at the LSR and CI-60 stations will increase water distribution, stating, "With the installation of new pumps, pumping has significantly increased in the areas of Garden, Mithadar and Kharadar, and reports have been received that in some places water has reached up to twelve feet." The upgrades are expected to boost daily water supply by an additional 4 to 5 million gallons, with the CI-60 station's capacity rising from 6.3 MGD to 8.5 MGD and LSR from 7.8 MGD to 9.3 MGD.
