MONROVIA-President George Weah is expected to shortly turn the tap for the pipe-borne water distribution in central Monrovia.
In a statement issued by the Liberia Water and Sewer Corporation (LWSC) the turning of the tap for the pipe-borne water is intended to restore pipe-borne water to all parts of central Monrovia.
The statement further indicated that the project was initiated following the approval of an additional US$30 million (thirty million United States dollars) support to the LWSC on both express transmission line and a one million gallons reservoir for Paynesville Rock Hill Community.
According to the statement, the projects are simultaneously being constructed. Additionally, the LWSC’s formation reveals that the express line will replace the old transmission pipeline to Central Monrovia which has become ineffective and untraceable while the reservoir will be used to supply in the Paynesville Rock Hill Community.
