Male’ Water and Sewerage Company (MWSC) marks its 30th anniversary on 1 April 2025. Established in 1995 to address the growing need for water and sewerage services in Male’, MWSC has since expanded its services significantly. From its beginnings with just 60 employees serving a population of 60,000 in Male’, the company now serves around 200,000 people across several islands, including Vilimale’, Hulhumale’, Thilafushi, Maafushi, R. Dhuvaafaru, and HDh. Kulhudhuffushi, reaching approximately 50% of the Maldivian population. In addition to water and sewerage, MWSC also provides electricity, waste management, and ice supply in select areas.
Over the years, MWSC has grown into a fully Maldivian-managed company with over 1,013 employees. The company has made major strides in infrastructure development, increasing its water production capacity from 900 cubic meters per day to 47,300 cubic meters, and its storage capacity from 10,000 to 44,858 cubic meters. By the end of 2025, MWSC aims to increase water production and storage capacities by 26% and 28%, respectively. One of its key infrastructure projects includes connecting the water networks of Male’ and Hulhumale’, which will allow for the transfer of up to 800 tons of water per hour between the two locations.
To enhance customer experience, MWSC has introduced several service improvements such as a 24-hour customer care center, online service requests, the rollout of smart meters, and an upgraded mobile application. MWSC also plays a vital role in the national water and sewerage infrastructure, having completed 107 projects across various islands, with 32 new projects planned for 2025.
Beyond its core services, MWSC has expanded into engineering, trading, and manufacturing. It designs, builds, and operates water and sewerage systems and manufactures related products in-house, including pipes and bottled water. MWSC’s ISO-certified laboratory also provides water testing services to resorts and consultants.
With this milestone, MWSC remains committed to delivering sustainable and convenient services to the public and expresses heartfelt gratitude to the hardworking employees and loyal customers for their continued support and trust over the past three decades.
