Management of Greater Lokoja Water Supply Scheme, (GLWSS), says it will soon restore water supply to the Lokoja metropolis, following the completion of maintenance works on its major waterworks.

Usman Musa, the corporation’s Public Affairs Officer, said this in a telephone interview with Kogiwatch in Lokoja on Tuesday.
Kogiwatch reports that water supply to Lokoja metropolis has been cut off for some days when the GLWSS embarked on the maintenance of its Ganaja waterworks.
“The temporary disruption of water supply to residents is due to ongoing maintenance of our major waterworks.
“The corporation does not want a situation where coloured water will get to residences; that is why it stopped water supply.
“Hopefully, the water supply will be restored very soon,” he said.

Musa said that the facility maintenance was necessary to ensure the optimum performance of the waterworks.
Kogiwatch recall that the corporation forewarned the residents on its intention to embark on the maintenance of the waterworks, advising them to store water for the period.
The corporation then said that the maintenance was to boost its water production capacity and service delivery.
