The last DCI pipe (pipe no. 944) has been successfully installed yesterday (24th of October, 2025), a major milestone in the ongoing Adiyan II Water Project,\u201d Wahab wrote.<br \/>\n\u201cThe 8km transmission pipeline has now reached Akute, bringing us closer to delivering additional 70 million gallons of potable water per day to Lagos residents once completed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Adiyan II Water Project, when completed, is expected to produce about 70 million gallons (320,000 cubic metres) of potable water daily, serving millions of residents across Lagos. It is a key component of the Sanwo-Olu administration\u2019s THEMES+ agenda, aimed at improving public utilities and infrastructure in line with the state\u2019s rapid population growth.<\/p>\n<p>Wahab noted that the project represents a significant leap toward restoring regular pipe-borne water to homes across Lagos, addressing years of inadequate access to clean and safe water. He reaffirmed that the administration is committed to rebuilding and expanding the state\u2019s water supply network to meet growing demand.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in September, the commissioner had disclosed that pipe laying had reached 98 percent completion, with only minor contingencies left to be resolved to ensure full efficiency and adherence to schedule.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis project, a 320,000\u00b3\/day water treatment plant, when completed, will supply over 70 million gallons of water to homes within the Lagos metropolis. In no time, houses across Lagos will have pipe-borne water flowing yet again,\u201d Wahab said.<\/p>\n<p>Located between Lagos and Ogun states, the Adiyan II Water Project has been under development for over a decade. Once operational, it is expected to significantly improve water access, promote public health, and reduce residents\u2019 dependence on private water vendors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Onilede Titi Faith &nbsp; The Lagos State Government has completed the installation of the final Ductile Cast Iron (DCI) pipe in the ongoing Adiyan II Water Project, marking a major milestone in the state\u2019s efforts to expand its water infrastructure.
