Yuletile: Corporation assures Lagos mainland residents of potable water supply

The Lagos Water Corporation (LWC) on Tuesdsy assured residents of the state, particularly Otto community, of  potable water supply to celebrate the Christmas period.

The Managing Director, LWC, Mr Muminu Badmus, said this in a statement issued and signed by the Assistant Director, Public Affairs, LWC, Anifowoshe Rasaq.

Badmus  said on completion of the ongoing intervention rehabilitation of 45 Million Gallons per Day (MGD) Iju waterworks this month, potable water would be supplied to the community and other parts of the state to celebrate this yuletide season.

He added that the Iponri mini waterworks, now in operation and Adiyan waterworks expected to commence operation soon, would also complement water production and supply from the Iju Waterworks.

He stated that the state government was committed to supplying water to every home in the state.

“This why LWC currently embarked upon great number of projects to increase water production, distribution and expansion, as the state has placed much priority on water sector,” he said.

Badmus further explained that the problem of aging infrastructure, among others, limiting water production and supply in the state was beyond the corporation.

He, however, thanked Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu led-administration for his pragmatic approach and intervention towards emergency resuscitation of Iju, Adiyan waterworks and Akute intakes.
