The Lagos State  Water Corporation (LWC) says supply will be temporarily disrupted in parts of Lagos to allow critical repair and replacement works at the Adiyan I Water Treatment Plant.

It listed  areas to be affected to  include Akiode, Ikeja, Magodo, Oregun, Ketu, Ojota, Maryland, Aromire, Ogudu, Gbagada, Shomolu, Ojuelegba, Oyingbo, Ijora Olopa, Agege, and parts of Lagos Island.

This is contained in a statement by its  Managing Director, Mukhtaar Tijani, on Tuesday.

The managing director noted that the disruption became necessary to address a major leakage on the ND1600mm Adiyan raw water pipeline.

He said  the leakage is located at the Akute Intake station  had continued to impact smooth execution of the ongoing Adiyan Phase II construction project.

Tijani noted that persistent water discharge had saturated the surrounding soil, weakened ground stability, and created safety risks for heavy construction equipment deployed at the site.

He mentioned that the Adiyan I Water Treatment Plant would be shut down temporarily to enable safe and effective completion of repair works and facilitate progress on the Adiyan II intake construction.

The managing director assured residents that efforts are  being intensified to complete the works promptly, adding that the water supply would be restored as soon as  repairs were concluded.
