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.
