We see a future in Bangladesh

without water crisis.

A Bangladesh in which every person has safe, sufficient and affordable water delivered straight into their home. Through our expanding network of Smart Water Grids, we are building a climate-resilient infrastructure that guarantees transparency and reliability. Our goal is to set a new standard for sustainable water management that reaches the most remote corners of the nation.

Supporting 22000+ people with safe water

In Bangladesh, providing safe drinking water remains a critical challenge, especially in the salt-prone coastal belt and the riverine heartlands. According to recent reports, millions of people in the southern coastal districts like Khulna and Patuakhali struggle with high salinity levels and arsenic contamination in their groundwater, forcing families to rely on unprotected ponds or distant sources. Access to clean water is a vital catalyst for health, ensuring children stay in school and families break the cycle of waterborne diseases. By implementing sustainable solutions—such as rainwater harvesting systems, community-based deep tube wells, and household sand filters—initiatives are working to bring reliable, safe drinking water directly to these vulnerable communities. Ensuring clean water for all in Khulna and Patuakhali is not just a health goal; it is an essential step toward a resilient and better quality of life for the people of Bangladesh.

Transitioning to Smart Water Grids

While MSE’s existing grids are conventional, the enterprise is now transitioning its Max TapWater systems toward smart water grids to improve efficiency, transparency, and climate resilience. As part of this transition, 120 grids will be upgraded to smart grids, 5 grids will be transformed into super smart grids, and only 5 grids will remain as traditional systems, ensuring a balanced mix of innovation while maintaining proven solutions.

Smart grids will integrate automated operations, real-time and remote monitoring, data-driven system management, and digital payment options, including mobile payments through bKash. These features will reduce water losses, improve service reliability, and strengthen financial sustainability.
In addition to piped water services, MSE operates a Reverse Osmosis (RO) plant in Khulna, supplying safe drinking water in jars.

Why piped water delivered at home?

01

Research shows that piped water improves health.

02

It is more convenient as it reduces the burden of water collection, which is overwhelmingly done by women and girls.

03

To bring Bangladesh to the final step on the SDG water ladder: ‘safely managed drinking water’ – located on premises, available when needed and free from contamination

Clients Feedback

Around 40 people in Amkhola Bazar had diarrhea last year. People had to remain in hospitals for several days. Not a single person suffered diarrhea this year after using water from Max Tap Water connection.

Nazmul

Before having Max Tap Water connection, I had to carry water far from my house. That's why I did not have that much time to help my children on their study. Also, I got sick most of the time. But after having Max Tap water connection I can now able to pay attention to my children and I don't get sick at all.

Suraiya Bilkis

Earlier I had to clean up before prayers with dirty pond water. But after getting Max Tap Water connection, now I use clean and safe water to clean myself. I am very happy with it.

Abdur Razzak

We have benefited a lot from this water. Those of us who are poor do not have the capacity to install tube wells. Because it takes around 80,000 - 1 lac taka to install a tube-well
