Water Supply
The municipal committee Kasur supplies the drinking water in the city. It serves
almost 60% of total area of the municipality. The quality of drinking water is doubtful
in respect of chemical and bacteriological aspects. The overall situation of water
supply is very poor and it is likely not to fulfil the requirements of the entire
population. Furthermore the drinking water quality is quite below the standards
of World Health Organization (WHO). There is no commercial connection in the city
whereas the city has lot of industrial activities. It reflects the poor management
of the sanitary branch of the municipal committee.
Severage System and Wastage Disposal
Municipal committee Kasur is responsible for provision and maintenance of sewage
system of the city. The solid waste of the city is dumped openly at several places.
The city presents a worst situation of ugly and unhealthy environment with no proper
dumping sites. The staff for cleaning the open drain of sewer is not enough. The
waste from industrial area is very hazardous and is scattered on the vast land lying
vacant near polluted ponds.
