The Lagos State Water Corporation (LSWC) has assured residents of better potable water in 2025.

The Lagos State Water Corporation (LSWC) gave the assurance in a statement announcing a significant increase in production from its waterworks on Friday in Lagos.

Mr Tijani said the increase in water production was from the Iju and Adiyan water works.

“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,” he said.

While reacting to the surge in water supply, the high-pressure burst along the Maryland-Ikorodu axis, he said it was due to stolen fittings.

“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,” he said.

He added that these occurrences were expected as part of the ongoing infrastructure upgrades.

“We assure the public that they will be promptly addressed,” Mr Tijani said.

He urged residents to immediately report any leak or burst to the LSWC through 07045973012, 07045973013, 07033207647 and 07033261974.
