Rawalpindi: The Rawalpindi Cantonment Board (RCB) has decided to repair non-functional tubewells and install new water filtration plants, and has reserved PKR 170.5 million for this purpose, reported a news source. The areas to have water filtration plants installed will be proposed by the RCB members based on shortage of drinking water.
The strategy is in place to ensure supply of drinking water in ten wards of the board, where every ward will have a new water filtration plant. In addition to that, all tubewells which have run out of underground water will be dug another 100 feet. The survey of these wards will start in August this year.
