LAGOS Water Corporation has appealed to the general public over the recent disruption of water supply to some parts of Lagos metropolis.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, May 9, Muminu Badmus, the corporation’s managing director, said the disruption of water production and supply was caused by electricity surge which ruptured all jumper fuses on Monday, May 8, 2017. The fault resulted in power outage at Adiyan Waterworks and affected the smooth running of water facilities.

The Iju waterworks has also functioned below installed capacity due to erratic power supply and production has remained unstable despite the running of diesel-powered generators to ensure continuous production of water.

While expressing his concern over the developments, the MD assured residents in the affected areas that water would be restored as soon as possible, as engineers are currently working to rectify the unfortunate situation.

The corporation said it regretted inconveniences resulting from the disruption of water during the period and assured the public that stable water supply would soon be restored in affected areas of the state.
