Lagos State Water Corporation (LSWC) has said that residents of the state residents will enjoy better potable water in 2025.
LSWC Managing Director, Mr Mukhtaar Tijani gave the assurance in a statement on Friday in Lagos.
Nothing that there is a significant increase in production from its waterworks; Tijani said that the increase in production was from Iju and Adiyan waterworks.
He said, “I am pleased to announce a significant increase in water production from Iju and Adiyan Waterworks.”
“This development underscores the corporation’s commitment to providing improved and reliable water supply to residents across Lagos State.”
While reacting to the surge in water supply, the high-pressure bursts which were reported along the Maryland-Ikorodu axis, he said it was due to stolen fittings.
He said, “Investigations revealed that the bursts were caused by stolen fittings, which exposed the pipe flow line and allowed water to escape to the surface.”
“This factor significantly impacted the integrity of the water pipelines in the area.”
“Immediate actions were taken to stop the leaks, while production at the Iju and Adiyan waterworks was temporarily halted to prevent further damage and ensure public safety.”
“As we continue to enhance water production across the state, residents may notice instances of leakages.”
The MD added that these occurrences were expected as it was part of the ongoing infrastructure upgrades.
Tijani said, “ We assure the public that they will be promptly addressed.”
He urged residents to report any leak or burst immediately to the LSWC through these helplines:0704 597 3012, 0704 597 3013, 0703 320 7647 and 0703 326 1974.
