The Municipality operated piped water supply system of Satkhira was first commissioned in 1918. Pond water was the source with a small treatment plant with a slow sand filtration. According to a 1963 report by DPHE, there were one production well, one small steel overhead reservoir and 4.8 km pipe lines at Satkhira Town. Under the “27 Sub-Divisional Towns Scheme” another 6” production well was sunk in the North-Western part of the town (Palashpur), and 4.5 km of pipe lines were completed. In the year 1981, one overhead tank (600 m3 capacity) and another 5 km pipe lines had been completed with Dutch assistance. The 101.47 km. of water supply distribution pier had been completed under I8 DTP-DPHE Project through Dutch assistance in the year of 1993 to 2000. Presently the water supply is going on with 2 overhead tanks and 3 treatment plants.
