In a landmark move to modernize Karachi’s long-strained water infrastructure, the Karachi Water and Sewerage Corporation (KWSC) has initiated the installation of an advanced citywide bulk flow metering system-ushering in a new era of transparency, efficiency, and data-driven water management.
According to KMC information today, this state-of-the-art system will enable real-time monitoring of water distribution through an integrated digital network, ensuring accurate measurement and oversight of supply across the city.
Backed by the Government of Sindh and supported by the World Bank under the Karachi Water and Sewerage Services Improvement Project (KWSSIP), the initiative aims to introduce a modern metering framework to address longstanding challenges such as uneven distribution, unaccounted-for water losses, and unreliable billing mechanisms.
As a first step, a pilot bulk measurement system is being installed to monitor water supplied in bulk to industries, housing societies, and other major consumers. Following the successful implementation of this bulk monitoring system, additional metering phases will be introduced.
