The visiting delegation of the African Development Bank says its forty million US dollar water project for Liberia would begin this October.
ADB Principal Water and Sanitation Engineer, Tom Muyoya said the project will cover the rehabilitation of the damaged White Plain water facility of the LWSC.
LWSC is the Liberia Water and Sewer Corporation.
According to Mr. Muyoya, the water project would also lead to the restoration of pipe-borne water to three regional cities including Buchanan, Zwedru and Kakata.
He disclosed the bank’s water project for Liberia is a result of government’s priority and indicated it would be completed by 2014.
The visiting ADB Principal Water and Sanitation Engineer spoke Thursday during the delegation’s visit to the LWSC’s White Plain water facility .
For his part, LWSC Managing Director Hun-bu Tulay said the visit was important because it gave the team opportunity to see where its money would be spent.
Mr. Tulay said the ADB project will increase the current water production capacity of the entity from three point five to sixteen million gallons per day.
According to him, the increase will ensure more residents of Monrovia and other parts have access to safe-drinking in the country.
The LWSC’s Managing Director disclosed portion of the ADB funding would be used to improve sanitary condition
of Monrovia and its environs amongst others.
