Getting clean water and proper sewerage service is a major priority when building a home or setting up a commercial shop. The Water and Sanitation Agency, known as WASA, handles water utility services across major cities in Punjab. Setting up a new property water connection used to require multiple office visits, but the water supply authority now offers both online and office application channels.
