I Tried Wasa's Water Plan for 30 Days and Here's What Happened!

The Dhaka Water Supply and Sewerage Authority (WASA) has several water plans, including:
Dhaka Environmentally Sustainable Water Supply Project: This project aims to reduce the reliance on groundwater by increasing the ratio of surface water supply to 70% by 2025. The project includes:
Developing a new surface water supply system
Strengthening the distribution network
Building a water treatment plant with a capacity of 500 million liters per day
Constructing a raw water transmission pipeline
Drainage coverage: WASA plans to increase drainage coverage from 38% to 100%.
Sewerage treatment: WASA plans to establish a 100% sewerage system to protect the environment.
Billing system: WASA plans to implement an area-based billing system with six to seven thresholds.
Water price increase: WASA raised water prices in September 2022 to move towards breaking even from losses.
WASA produces water from surface water sources like rivers and lakes, and groundwater sources like wells. The water is treated at WASA's water treatment plants to remove impurities and reduce the risk of water-borne diseases.
