The recent disruption in water supply has nothing to do with adoption of Public Private Partnership (PPP) as a model for public infrastructure delivery in Lagos State.<\/p>\n

The Managing Director\/CEO of Lagos Water Corporation Engr Muminu Badmus stated this on Friday.<\/p>\n

Badmus, in a statement, debunked media reports the disruption was deliberately orchestrated to give the PPP initiative a boost.<\/p>\n

He explained: \u201cThe Lagos State Government had earlier mentioned in one of its publications that it has not privatized water supply neither has it awarded water privatization contract to any organisation as no responsible government will jeopardize the interests of the state by not following the due process in its transactions\u201d.<\/p>\n

He stated the disruption was as a result of epileptic power supply from Independent Power Plant in Akute, which has adversely affected water production and supply from the major water works of Adiyan and Iju.<\/p>\n

He added with the reconnection to the National Grid, all the affected communities such as Bariga, lawanson, Ketu, Ojodu, Agboyi, Mile 12 among others have started receiving water supply.<\/p>\n

He also stated that necessary arrangements are in progress to fully power all the major waterworks to produce to their design capacity.<\/p>\n

Badmus further explained the Corporation had completed the rehabilitation of 48 mini waterworks across the state to upgrade the mini\/micro waterworks to perform to their optimal design capacity.<\/p>\n

The waterworks, according to him, jointly produce 87 MGD to complement the major waterworks of Adiyan: 70 MGD, Iju: 45MGD, Ishasi: 4MGD, and Otta Ikosi 4 MGD, arriving at a total of 210 million gallons per day.<\/p>\n

The corporation, he added, has initiated projects on expansion and upgrading, which will effectively and ultimately tackle the problem of water shortage in the state, and thereby close water demand gap.<\/a><\/p>\n
