Wtf is happening on this thread??

What sort of thread is this with so many hidden posts.

Was there ever pipe borne water in Festac ever since the FG abandoned FHA?

Most always got their water from Singer or other private arrangements. Not heard anything bout the water tables corrupted neither. Least our boreholes runs fine.

Na wa for this your thread o! Anyway i was born in festac town,lived there and only relocated in 08.I never hear say oil dey festac.The water is good and drinkable when treated properly.its unforunate that most festac residents still buy drinking water from SINGER and its outlets.which area does your friend reside?

yes there was a time pipe borne water was functional in the 80's and even up till now,few areas in festac still have functioning pipe borne water.due to the colouration of the water residents stopped using it.almost everyone has a borehole.

Of course I knew that, just a rhetorical question. The water was damn terrible, typhoid inducing and very erratic too,almost everyone moved off the grid with their own boreholes. A miracle some still have pipe borne water. The water treatment plant looks like its got algae growing in it!

Very odd, no one talks about providing safe drinking water nor any approach to provide infrastructures for pipe borne water.

I heard LASG was responsible for the payment of the water bills in Festac,but since the government stopped paying,the waterboard corporation became less active and was providing water at low capacity.its a good thing that people now depend on their own water.

This is a recent development. Although I have been aware of you info on festac before but people still use boreholes to get water until recent.
