CHITTAGONG: Chittagong Water and Sewerage Authority (CWASA) has taken various steps to ensure uninterrupted water supply for the city dwellers during the holy month of Ramzan, reports BSS.
To ensure smooth water supply during Ramzan, 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 the news agency.
CWASA Managing Director Engineer AKM Fazlullah told BSS that they have formed 10 vigilance teams to monitor different establishments of the CWASA during Ramzan.
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.
