The Lagos Water Corporation, LWC, has attributed the present disruption of water supply in the state to national power outage.

A statement from the corporation on yesterday informed the “general public that the present disruption of Water supply being experienced is due to the National power outage, which adversely affected Water production at the LWC Major Waterworks.

“The power outage was as a result of the recent fire outbreak at a Gas Pipeline system which interrupted Gas supply and affected the National transmission grid.”

“The LWC, therefore, regrets any inconveniences caused and assured the general public of steady Water supply soon, as the Corporation is working relentlessly on alternative power supply to commence Production and Supply of potable Water to Lagosians,” the statement said.
