The government has decided to create a new WAPDA Security Force through the WAPDA Security Force Act, 2026, which has been forwarded to parliament. The force is being constituted to ensure the protection and security of critical water and power infrastructure, including dams and power plants. It will also extend its security coverage to WAPDA-managed residential areas, such as the Officers Colony in Lahore, providing dedicated security to personnel and their residences. The move follows past terrorist attacks on project sites and aims to coordinate with other law enforcement agencies.

The WAPDA Employees Cooperative Housing Society in Lahore released new job vacancies in June 2026. The available positions include Superintendent, Senior Superintendent, Building Supervisor, Manager-Accounts, Sub-Engineer (Civil/Electrical), Electrician, Security Officer, Surveyor, Khateeb, and Imam. The advertisement was published in Daily Nawaiwaqt, with the application deadline set for 24 June 2026. Eligibility ranges from Matric/Intermediate to Bachelor/Master's degrees.

WAPDA has published a list of vacant flats available for allotment to eligible staff. As of February 2026, the list includes vacant accommodation in the Water Wing and specifically for flats in Lahore. This reflects ongoing administrative efforts to manage and allocate housing for WAPDA officers and employees.
