OKOROCHA RESTORES PIPE-BORNE-WATER IN OWERRI
Regular supply of pipe-borne water in Owerri which had for a long time now been non-existent has finally become a reality.
The Deputy Governor of Imo State, Prince Eze Madumere made this known shortly after an inspection exercise of Imo State Government Water Scheme. In a release signed by his Special Assistant on Media, Uche Onwuchekwa, Prince Madumere said Governor Okorocha is making real his promise to restore the old good days when potable water flowed in Imo State.
He said he was satisfied with the functionality of the plants in all the units of scheme. He disclosed that Imo State can boast of the best water purity analysis equipment globally. He mentioned some of the equipment like UV-Spetro Photo Meter, Turbidi-Meter ad PH Meter.
He revealed that the plan of Owelle Rochas Okorocha Administration is to ensure that there is pipe borne water even in the rural areas of Imo State and called on the people of Imo State to be patient and be rest assured that the Rescue Mission Government of Owelle Rochas Okorocha will not only live up to its electoral promises but will surpass it.
It will be recalled that for over seven years, Imo State lost the basic social amenities especially pipe-borne-water for lack of maintenance and sabotage.
According to the release, Dr. Mathias Buyan, the Chief Executive Officer of Hegen Nigeria Limited, a company that is working in partnership with Imo State Government, over three hundred houses have pipe-borne water. He mentioned Egbu, Orji, Ikenegbu and other areas as having been covered while they are working hard to fix Nekkede.
He however disclosed that part of the challenges since fixing the water plant is the rusted galvanized pipes, which they are working round the clock to replace with healthier plastic pipes.
In the same vein, the Commissioner for Public Utilities and Safety, Mr. Rodney Ajaelu thanked the Deputy Governor for finding time to visit while eulogizing Governor Okorocha for his people-oriented programmes and policies and for keeping to his promises by making Imo an envy among other States in the Federation.
