Chittagong Bureau :
Chittagong Water and Sewerage Authority (CWASA) has taken various steps to ensure uninterrupted water supply for the city dwellers during the holy month of Ramadan and Eid holidays.
To ensure smooth water supply during Ramadan, the CWASA has already set up two deep tube wells with a daily production capacity of two million litres of water side by side repairing four inoperative ones. Besides, the CWASA authority has also decided to open control rooms, form vigilance teams and supply free water in different slum areas in the city. Currently CWASA produces 21 crore litres of water per day against the daily demand of 55 crore litres which is too insufficient in meeting the growing demand of nearly 60 lakh city dwellers for domestic, commercial and industrial consumption, a top official of CWASA told this correspondent.
CWASA Managing Director Engineer AKM Fazlullah told that they have formed 10 vigilance teams to monitor different establishments of the CWASA during the month of Ramadan and eid vacation. Keeping this under consideration, 10 vigilance teams are working continuously. They have visited different slum areas to mitigate the sufferings of the people, he said. “Moreover we have kept our teams ready for providing immediate solution to the water supply problems arising at any place,” he added. He sought public cooperation to cope with the water scarcity.
