State plans to produce 745 million gallons per day by 2020.
The Lagos State Water Corporation is to invest $3.5 billion (N575.5 billion) in water production and supply through Public Private Partnership in the state.
The corporation’s Group Managing Director, Shayo Holloway, made this known in an interview in Lagos on Sunday.
Mr. Holloway said the investment would boost water production and supply from 210 million gallons per day to 745 million per day by 2020.
He said that this was in line with the corporation’s master plan project targeted at providing potable water in all the nooks and crannies of the state.
“What we are doing now is to involve Public Private Partnership in the project to acquire the needed equipment because the state government cannot do it alone,” he said.
The group managing director also identified vandalism, illegal connections and residents’ refusal to pay for water service as some of the challenges facing the corporation.
“Our challenges are far greater than other states. Lagos State is the most populous state in the country with over 20 million inhabitants. We are currently expanding our network on piping,” he said.
Mr. Holloway said the corporation would soon inaugurate the Ota-Ikosi Mini-waterworks in Ikorodu with capacity of four million gallons of water per day.
He explained that the waterworks would serve more than 11 communities in Ikorodu and Epe axis.
“Besides, we are in the process of finalising the design with a foreign company to develop 50 million gallons of water per day in Badagry to serve Mile 2. Also, another construction of waterworks is ongoing at Odomola in Epe which will serve Epe, Ibeju-Lekki and other environs. The state currently needs about 540 million gallons of water per day, but we are constrained due to some challenges of epileptic power supply and lack of access to funds,” Mr. Holloway said.

Nothing.

Spending close to 600Billion naira on water production by Lagos gov't will only open a tunnel for corruption and embezzlement and mismanagement. This is more than the state budget for a year! What the Lagos state gov't should do is to develop a comprehensive work policy and masterplan for the state. This should include designs and structure of generation, reticulation, distribution and metering. In achieving this, the state should take a cue from the federal gov't power privitization. It should divide the state into sections, say Lekki, V.I., Gbagada/Yaba, etc. Then built water stations in these sections and then sale them off to private investors to manage and operate while holding at least 15% equity. The water policy should include restrictions on residents' indiscriminate sinking of boreholes and if one must do he must obtain full permission from relevant authorities and the water MUST meet the set highest quality standards before approval. And must be tested every year even after sinking to ensure compliance. If the water supply is regular and cheap residents will have no reason to go on private water source. The gov't should plan every single part of the state to include underground water pipes so that even before one buys a land to develope he has pipe running under the soil. So as soon as one wants to build all he'll need to is to call the water company to come and open his channel and meter him so he can use the water for his building. Also, metering should include both post paid and prepaid options.

It is called propaganda AKA media governance.

I am surprised that there is no picture of Fashola shaking hands with a white man to back up the story.
His chief photographer is already on this thread.

They are doing nearly everything you listed and there is no corner of the state that doesn't have detailed master plan. Even this topic is based on a master plan.

Over 15 years of Thief'nubu and Fashola administration with almost N20 billion annual budget for Lagos State Water Corporation, most Lagosians "big men" are still drinking their own sh'it from boreholes in their compounds.
Then we have this almost N600 billion project on top
Chai, what manner of progreTHIEVES.

Lagos is a nonsense place. A place where every compound owns a well with brown water (as their only source of water). Upon all the ocean surrounding them, they still don't have clean source of water....

^where you come from, do people drink sea water?
