Residents of the Federal Capital Territory are presently facing scarcity of water as a result of the continuous repair works on the trunk line at the Lower Usuma Dam water treatment plant 3 and 4, Ushafa.
The repair which started a few days ago has led to a shortage of water across the nation’s capital with many residents struggling to get the essential commodity for domestic use.
Areas hit by the dearth of water include Ushafa, Kubwa, Dutsen Alhaji, Area one, Garki and Durumi.
The FCT water management board had earlier informed the people of the disruption to the water supply in a public notice circulated on social media.
It read, “The management of FCT Water Board thanks residents of the FCT for their continued patience while repair works on the trunk line at the Lower Usuma Dam Water Treatment plant 3 and 4 is ongoing.
“Please, be rest assured that our engineers are working tirelessly to restore normal supply. Meanwhile, residents in need of water may please contact the area managers within their districts for supplementary water supply via water tankers.”
