Need a deep tube well at Bashabo

Inhabitants of Bashabo area in Dhaka metropolis have been suffering for want of water. Supply of water by Dhaka Wasa is very much inadequate. Even the water that is supplied by Wasa is contaminated. People need water but not polluted water. The lifted water at Bashabo by deep tube wells is transparent, colourless, without odour and drinkable. But the deep tube wells water has been polluted by the contaminated water of Saidabad Water Treatment Plant. We believe that the plant is pouring Sitalakha river water without treatment. Indeed, the delivery pipeline of Saidabad Water Treatment Plant is connected with the pipeline network of Wasa in Bashabo. The untreated water of that plant is responsible to pollute the drinkable water of deep tube wells in Bashabo. As the Wasa authority could not supply clean and drinkable water from the treatment plant, connection of its delivery pipeline with the pipeline network of Bashabo needs to be immediately disconnected. In Central Bashabo, there is an about piece of vacant land of the Ministry of Works (used as kids play ground). It is surrounded by holding numbers 97 to 101 and 117 to 122. Wasa can erect and operate a deep tube well at the western or eastern side of the vacant land. The Ministry can dedicate a portion of the vacant land to Wasa for meeting the basic need of water of the Bashabo inhabitants. In this scenario, I like to urge the Dhaka Wasa authority to set up a deep tube well at a corner of the said vacant land and disconnect the connection of pipeline network of Bashabo with the delivery pipeline of Saidabad Water Treatment Plant.
