Drinking water access in Gwadar district has taken a significant step forward as pipeline rehabilitation efforts advance, with potable water restored to Chorr Bandan near Pasni for the first time in 15 years. The update was shared by the Directorate General Public Relations and reported by Gwadar Pro on Wednesday.
The long‑awaited relief is the result of a major upgrade to a critical supply scheme, including the installation of a 15‑kilometre pipeline from Pasni town to Chorr Bandan. The project, completed in just two and a half months, is designed to ensure a consistent flow of clean drinking water to the community.
The initiative was officially inaugurated by Member of the Provincial Assembly Maulana Hidayatur Rehman Baloch, who commended the departments involved for addressing a challenge that had persisted for over a decade. He noted that the project underscored the provincial government’s commitment to practical, sustained public service.
Residents welcomed the restored supply and expressed optimism that development and welfare initiatives across Gwadar district would continue with the same momentum.
Multiple Sources Sustain Gwadar City’s Water Needs
In a separate update on the broader water situation, the Gwadar Development Authority (GDA) confirmed that the city’s water needs are currently being met through a combination of sources despite ongoing dry weather.
According to GDA data:
- Shadi Kor Dam is providing 16.35 million gallons
- GPA/GDA desalination plant is supplying 9.48 million gallons
- Mirani Dam is contributing 5.21 million gallons
- Additionally, 42 water tankers are supporting distribution across urban and suburban areas
Together, these sources are delivering approximately 31.04 million gallons per day to consumers.
Recent Rains Bring Temporary Relief
Recent showers across Gwadar and surrounding areas have also provided much‑needed relief from prolonged dry conditions. Local rainfall is expected to aid moisture replenishment and support ongoing efforts to stabilize the city’s water supply.
