Rawalpindi: WASA to tell people how to purify water

[Naveed Yaseen]

RAWALPINDI: Water and Sanitation Agency (WASA) will launch a campaign tomorrow (Wednesday) to provide free stock solution to every household to purify water in all 46 union councils of Rawal Town, said WASA Managing Director (MD) Islamul Haq in a press statement.

He said though the agency was providing chlorinated water to the city residents from Khanpur and Rawal dams, chances of bacteria presence in water emerged chiefly due to its leakage and improper cleanliness of underground waterlines.

He said the WASA would avail itself of the services of nazims, naib nazims and councillors to make the campaign a success. He said three drops of the solution would clean seven-liter water.
