Wastewater to Wellness: Transforming Water, Protecting Lives
Sewage Treatment Plant Installation — Patenga, Chattogram
Untreated wastewater is a growing environmental and public health concern in densely populated coastal areas. When sewage is discharged directly into nearby water bodies without proper treatment, it can contribute to water pollution, environmental degradation, and increased health risks for surrounding communities.
At Charm Foundation, we believe sustainable wastewater management is essential for protecting both people and the environment. Wastewater should not simply be discharged as waste; it should be responsibly treated before entering natural water systems.
Through the establishment of a modern Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) in Patenga, Chattogram, Charm Foundation has taken a practical step toward reducing wastewater pollution and supporting a cleaner, healthier coastal environment.

The Kalachandpur Lake Sewage Treatment Plant is one of Charm Foundation’s largest environmental infrastructure initiatives.
For many years, untreated wastewater from surrounding residential and commercial areas was discharged directly into the lake, causing severe water pollution and affecting the surrounding urban environment.
The deteriorating water quality created challenges including unpleasant odour, environmental degradation, impact on aquatic ecosystems, and increased risks for nearby communities.
To address this issue, Charm Foundation established a comprehensive Sewage Treatment Plant that treats wastewater before it reaches the lake, helping restore water quality and protect this important urban water resource.
