CDA Restores NOCs For WASA Tube Wells

The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has restored a no-objection certificate (NOC) for 15 tube wells installed by the Water and Sanitation Agency (WASA) along Islamabad Expressway. The dispute, which lasted for two months and 10 days, arose after the CDA cancelled the NOC, citing concerns that the tube wells would create a water shortage in nearby areas and that WASA had violated the conditions of approval for three of the installed tube wells.

The restoration of the NOC means WASA must now comply with all conditions and supply half of the water to adjoining localities of Islamabad and the other half to four union councils of Rawalpindi. The project, initially valued at Rs1.3 billion, was expected to provide 1.5 million gallons of water daily.
