The Lagos State Water Regulatory Commission (LSWRC) on Tuesday announced it had sealed a private water agency on Banana Island for falling short of quality standards for water production in the state.
According to the LSWRC, the Banana Island Property Owners Resident Association (BIPORAL) Water Treatment Plant was sealed “for failing to meet the required safety and quality standards.”
“The regulatory compliance seal order on the BIPORAL water plant supplying water to residents of Banana Island was sequel to the tests earlier conducted by the LSWRC, which revealed that the water quality of the plant was unsafe for consumption and required improved treatment.”
The Executive Secretary of LSWRC, Funke Adepoju, said the decision was taken to protect residents from consumption of unhygienic water which is harmful to health.
“She said the plant will remain shut until necessary improvements are carried out by the service provider in line with the drinking water quality control of the State Government and the plant recertified safe to resume operation.
