Welcome
Chittagong is the second largest city of Bangladesh. A part from being the main centre of trade, commerce and industrial activities is the life line of the economy for its sea port. Country's first Export Processing Zone was established in this city. Over the last 3 decades, Chittagong has grown at a great pace. This decade's remarkable phenomenon in the economy of the country is unprecedented growth of garment industry in Chittagong. Development of industries has brought rapid increase of population. Chittagong has witnessed major growth in population over the last 3 decades; mainly due to migration from the country-side. Since 1971, the population of the city has grown from about 0.5 million to more than 3.0 million in 2007.
The city area has also expanded. The total area of Chittagong and suburban areas (including proposed Hathazari and Sitakunda) is around 270 sq. km. Between 1974 (77 sq. km.) and 2007, the built-up area has increased by around 250%.
This kind of growth presents tremendous challenges to the utility authorities in providing utility services. CWASA is striving hard to keep pace with the city development.
