MWSC Begins Installation of New Water Tanks to Boost Male’ City’s Capacity

The Male’ Water and Sewerage Company (MWSC) has begun installing two new 13,000-tonne water tanks in Male’ City as part of efforts to increase the city’s water storage capacity.

Ground preparation and piling equipment setup have been completed, with test piling currently underway in preparation for the main foundation works.

Once completed, the two tanks will provide a combined storage capacity of 26,000 tonnes, equivalent to the city’s current water storage capacity, further strengthening water security for the growing population of the Greater Male’ region. MWSC also aims to complete a 5,000-tonne water plant in Hulhumale’ by next month.

Last year, MWSC installed a 10,000-tonne water storage system in Hulhumale’, the largest water tank in the Maldives to date, raising Hulhumale’s total water storage capacity to 22,600 tonnes. In June, a Reverse Osmosis plant capable of producing up to 1,000 tonnes of water was established to supplement the city’s supply.
