A public water facility in Agboyi-Ketu LCDA
What an irony! That we live in a city that is surrounded by water yet we find it extremely difficult to get potable water to drink and for other domestic uses.
There have been no water supply to the residents of Agboyi–Ketu and its environs for almost 2
weeks, the residents of these communities now depend on water vendors, known as Mai-ruwa for their daily supply of water while others patronize water tanker vendors. So bad, we don’t even know the source of the water we buy and we cannot ask anybody and the only affordable/accessible well/borehole water is not drinkable.
Investigations revealed that Water scarcity is hitting some parts of the state due to non-supply by the Lagos State Water Corporation, it is now a frequent phenomenon as the Corporation have been struggling to maintain supply for about 2 years with just one pump out of the provided five pumps. Currently, none of the pumps is effective. 
Bad water fetched from the public facility
Water is not just an essential need for all human and animals but also a necessity as a means of survival against the Covid-19 pandemic. The Government in umpteenth efforts is doing everything possible to flatten the curve of the pandemic but the current non-supply of Water to the residents is a leaky bucket strategy of fighting the anti-human virus.  
All efforts to get the resolution plans for the non-supply of the essential resource has only earned the common chorus “We are working on it” from the staff of the Corporation. The worst we had under 8 years of the Fashola led administration was 2/3 days of non-supply of water.
I want to use this medium to appeal to all relevant Lagos State Authority to immediately restore water supply to all affected areas to prevent health hazards, such as typhoid, gastroenteritis, diarrhoea, other related water-borne diseases and prevent future preventable deaths.
