Chattogram WASH Improvement Project

Project Details

The population of Chattogram city is growing rapidly and CWASA is making consistent efforts to improve the water supply system through various investment projects including the CWSISP and KWSP phases 1 and 2. The city is already densely populated, and it is anticipated that the population will further increase in the future, following the recent trend. This would trigger the expansion of the city to new areas and larger coverage of water supply.

Presently, CWASA is establishing District Metering Areas (DMA) in the central part of the city called Karnaphuli Service Area (KSA). The proposed project will focus on improving the sustainable water supply system by expanding the network to the other sectors (not covered by KSA) and establishing “Smart DMAs” to attain the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG) of the of supplying clean water to the entire population of the Chattogram City by the year 2030. According to the previous studies conducted the 

interventions in improving the water supply distribution network to provide consumers with continuous supply with adequate pressure in the project area are divided into five sectors. 

The proposed project area has been divided into five sectors. These are:

  •     Sector-1: part of Patenga (Chattogram Port, Bangladesh Naval and Military Establishments, Shah Amanat International Airport, EPZ) under ward no. 36-41.
  •     Sector-2: Paharthuli and Salimpur area and along the Bay of Bengal, covers wards no. 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, and 26.
  •     Sector-3: cantonment area (north of cantonment area up to Hathazari thana covering Chittagong University).
  •     Sector-4: Kalurghat and Mohra Area (north of Mohara up to covering Modunaghat area).
  •     Sector-5: Bakalia area and partly downstream of Kalurghat Iron Removal Plant of CWASA.
