ISLAMABAD: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has approved Rs 30 million to shift tube wells installations in the city on solar systems.

The process of transformation has been started from Poona Faqiran, Sang Jani and in the coming days, all the tube wells would be transferred to the modern solar systems that would not only save energy but significantly reduce the cost.

“This was a very important step to increase energy saving in the line of the federal government’s vision that would not only aid to save millions of rupees, but help to cope with energy crises,” the CDA chairman said on Tuesday.

Talking about the installation of the new tube wells, he informed that as many as 32 tube wells were installed by the water supply department during the current year, and work on 10 new tube wells were in full swing.

The development management has appealed to the citizens to remain careful in using water and avoid wastage of it so that more water can be used by the citizens.
