To address this, he approved the procurement of ten new pumps, which are being unveiled today,\u201d Doguwa stated.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, six pumps with a capacity of 110 kilowatts each will be installed at the Challawa plant, which previously provided half of Kano\u2019s water supply before being vandalized and shut down. Additionally, four pumps of 160 kilowatts each will be installed at the Tamburawa plant to restore water supply to Nasarawa and nearby areas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur initial goal is to produce at least 450 million litres of water daily, but Kano\u2019s actual demand stands at 750 million litres. We are working to first achieve the 450 million-litre target and then scale up production,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Doguwa also revealed that Governor Abba Yusuf is planning to expand water treatment facilities, including those at Joda and Wudil, to further bridge the supply gap.<\/p>\n<p>He cautioned industries, businesses, and individuals misusing treated water\u2014particularly those diverting it for farming\u2014to stop immediately or face government sanctions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople desperately need drinking water, yet some individuals are illegally diverting treated water to their farms. We are investigating these cases, and if necessary, lands involved in such activities will be confiscated,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
