CHATTOGRAM, April 13, 2021 (BSS) – Chattogram Water and Sewerage Authority (CWASA) has taken various steps to ensure uninterrupted water supply to the city dwellers during the holy month of Ramadan.

To ensure smooth water supply during Ramadan, the CWASA has already opened four control rooms in different areas and formed several vigilance teams and supply free water in different slum areas under the city.

Currently CWASA produces 50 crore litres of water per day against the daily demand of 45 crore litres which is sufficient to meet the growing demand of nearly 65 lakh city dwellers for domestic, commercial and industrial consumption, CWASA Managing Director Engineer AKM Fazlullah told BSS.

CWASA covers only 160 square kilometers of the city and supplies water to its inhabitants properly.

Engineer AKM Fazlullah said they have formed four vigilance teams to monitor different establishments of the CWASA during the month of Ramadan.

Keeping this under consideration, the vigilance teams are working to alleviate the sufferings of the common people by visiting different slum areas.

“Moreover we’ve kept our teams ready to provide immediate solution of the water supply problems at any place including mosques,” the engineer added.

He sought public cooperation to cope up any water crisis during the holy month.
