As part of continued efforts to engage with the communities, K-Electric (KE) has inaugurated a new water filtration plant in Surjani Town area. The plant, capable of producing 1,000 gallons per hour, will provide clean drinking water to the surrounding community. With a planned running time of 8 hours a day, the community will be able to receive up to 8,000 gallons per day. The plant will eventually run for 24 hours straight. 10,000 community residents are expected to directly benefit from this. KE Chief Distribution Officer, Amer Zia, present at the inauguration ceremony said, “KE believes that dual investments in Karachi’s infrastructure and communities is vital for long-term growth. Project Sarbulandi, under which this plant has been inaugurated, is the representation of KE’s efforts to do just that.” On the occasion, Mahreen Aziz Khan, Chief Marketing & Communications Officer KE, said; “A company is only as strong as the communities it serves. As such, KE strives to go beyond power provision, to empowering communities that will enable the people to benefit in various ways, ranging from clean-up drives, infrastructure development, family melas to medical camps. This water filtration plant is a representation of broader efforts to engage and grow with the wider community.”
