| | Narrative Description of Project |
|---|
This project was the implementation of Phase I of the Design work which had been carried out by Reid Crowther. The project itself was originally conceived as entailing the installation of 1,200 km of watermain throughout the City of Lagos with diameters varying from 100 mm to 1200 mm. Ultimately because of budgetary constraints, the size of the work to be undertaken for this particular project was scaled back to 800 km of water pipeline. This installation also included service connections to the properties along the routes of the pipeline and a total of approximately 60,000 service connections was anticipated. Poorer areas were served by water fountains located in these areas and approximately 120 water fountains were installed. Connections were made to existing watermains and the project increased the size of the water supply system from 1100 km in length to 1900 km in length.
