Badmus stated further that Lagos water production process involves the application of water treatment chemicals such as aluminum sulphate,hydrate lime,and chlorine to purify and remove all hazardous substances from water in order to guarantee safe consumption.He added that the Quality Assurance Department of the Corporation,monitors samples on regular basis during the process,and subjects it to physical,chemical and microbiological tests in the laboratories,in conformity with acceptable standards.The Managing Director disclosed that the Corporation is planning to install secondary chlorination points at strategic locations between the public water supply distribution networks to remove every opportunistic microbial contaminant entering water supply during distribution,as this would guarantee additional protection against water-borne diseases.While assuring the public on the quality of water produced by LWC,Badmus expressed the commitment of the State in providing potable,germ-free,and uninterrupted water supply to the residents of Lagos State.
