rdf:langString Lagos Water Corporation formerly Federal Water Supply is the principal supplier of water throughout Lagos State. It is owned by the Lagos State Government. The Waterworks was commissioned by Mr. Frederick Lugard, the then Governor General of Nigeria, in 1915 at Obun Eko Area of Lagos. The Lagos Water Corporation then under the federal government was established with the construction of Iju Water Works. The Iju treatment plant had an initial design capacity of 2.45 million gallon per day (MGD) and was constructed primarily to supply Water to the Colonial residents of Ikoyi in those days. The Lagos Water Corporation has developed a Lagos Water Supply Master Plan as a "Road Map" to take the State's water production capacity to 745 million gallons per day by 2020 in a renewed effort to solve the problem of water shortage and ensure steady supply for the growing population of Lagos. The entire installed water production capacity is currently 210 million gallons per day (MGD), which is insufficient to meet current demand.
