Report - Supply of Polluted Water in WASA Pipeline

 WASA Pipeline Supplies Polluted Water

Mabrur Atiqi, Dhaka, 18 April: The inhabitants of city's Badda area are getting dirty and polluted water supplied by WASA for about last three weeks. The locals alleged that after the recent flood, the water has become very dirty and stinky. In spite of boiling the water for more than half an hour, it does not still become clear and drinkable. They also reported that they had informed the matter to the WASA authorities, but of no use.

On contacted over phone, an official of the WASA said that there might be some leakage in the pipelines through which the dirty and polluted flood water is getting mixed with WASA supplied water. WASA is trying their best to solve the problem, but until flood water recedes, nothing can be done, he added.

Meanwhile, many of the locals have become victims of different diseases drinking the filthy water. They are spending more fuel for boiling and purifying the supplied water, which is causing an extra pressure on their family expense. They have asked for pumping out the stagnant water and repairing the leakage immediately.
