City residents face acute water crisis Power outage, low voltage disrupt WASA supply Abdul Kader People in different areas of the Dhaka city are suffering from acute crisis of water due to frequent load-shedding and low voltage coupled with sharp fall in underground water level. The Dhaka Water Supply and Sewerage Authority cannot ensure smooth supply of water as its generators are not functioning properly because of frequent load-shedding and low voltage, a WASA official said. He also blamed pilferage of WASA water through illegal connections for the existing water crisis. A section of WASA employees has given illegal connections to a large number of city residences resulting in the problem, he alleged.
