  "notes": "WASA originated as an LDA agency. The 2025 Act deems the existing Lahore WASA to be an agency under PWASA and preserves consistent schemes, rates, contracts, assets and staff. A dated January 2019 serving-area reconstruction now provides historical outer geography. Recovered complaint directories preserve a dated roster below the directorate level. The current subdivision and service territory for an address remain open."
