The Enugu State Government, through the Enugu State Water Corporation, is implementing the Water Last-Mile Connection Project to ensure that all households across the city are connected to the public water supply network.
As part of this istatewide initiative, all landlords, caretakers, and tenants in Enugu are hereby directed to grant unhindered access to officials and accredited agents of the Water Corporation for the purpose of connecting their properties to the water infrastructure.
In addition, residents who have constructed buildings or structures on water utility lines or public right-of-way are reminded that such developments are illegal. These individuals are also required to grant full and undisrupted access to Water Corporation teams. Any obstruction of utility corridors will be treated as a serious violation of state laws and subject to enforcement actions.
This initiative is a key part of the government’s effort to deliver safe, clean, and reliable water to every home, while also restoring and protecting public infrastructure for the benefit of all.
Non-compliance with this directive will attract appropriate sanctions as stipulated by law.
We call on all residents to cooperate fully to ensure the success of this critical exercise.
Signed:
Prof. Chidiebere Onyia
Secretary to the Government of Enugu State
