ISLAMABAD, September 23, 2026: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has reaffirmed its commitment to providing a reliable and safe water supply to Islamabad’s residents.
The authority said it is working to meet the city’s growing water needs while conserving existing resources.
CDA said it is improving water infrastructure, strengthening distribution networks and reducing water losses.
It is also working to improve water storage capacity and explore additional sustainable sources.
As part of its routine maintenance and disinfection programme, CDA carried out cleaning of water reservoirs at the G-10 Water Works.
The authority said reservoir cleaning and disinfection are conducted regularly.
The measures aim to maintain hygienic conditions and protect the quality of drinking water supplied to residents.
CDA’s Islamabad Water team is also monitoring and maintaining water supply facilities across the capital.
The authority said these efforts are intended to ensure residents receive clean and safe drinking water.
CDA said rainwater harvesting and groundwater recharge are important parts of its long-term water management strategy.
Residential, institutional and commercial buildings are being encouraged to install scientifically designed systems where technically feasible.
Such systems can collect and conserve rainwater while supporting groundwater recharge.
CDA also plans to encourage appropriate filtration systems to help reduce the risk of groundwater contamination.

CDA said it is also focusing on the timely detection and repair of leaks across the water supply network.
Residents have been asked to report water leakages and unnecessary water wastage to the relevant authorities.
The authority has also urged households, educational institutions, housing societies, offices and commercial establishments to use water responsibly.
CDA advised residents to repair leaking taps and pipelines and avoid unnecessary washing of vehicles and paved areas.
Where feasible, harvested rainwater can be used for gardening, landscaping, cleaning and other non-potable purposes.
The authority has also stressed the need to protect water resources from pollution.
Citizens have been urged not to dispose of solid waste, chemicals, oil, sewage or other pollutants into drains, nullahs and watercourses.
CDA also called for protection of areas designated for groundwater recharge.
The authority said sustainable water security requires cooperation from citizens, institutions and businesses.
It added that conservation, efficient water use, infrastructure improvements and regular maintenance would remain key priorities.
CDA said it would continue using available resources to support a reliable and sustainable water supply for Islamabad.
