Despite the recent concern that Abuja water source faces contamination threat, the Usuman Dam remains safe for potable water supply to residents of the territory, the management of FCT Water Board said weekend.
The board in a statement reiterated that it is not relenting on maintenance of dams specifically the Usuma Dam, which serves as residents of the FCT and its environs.
The statement by its Public Relations Officer (PRO), Mogbo Stella, said the concerns of the general public are our priority and will always be attended to with utmost care.
It reads: “The FCT Water Board allays every form of fear/rumours emanating from any quarter regarding threat of contamination from its water source as proactive measures are always taken from time to time to forestall any eventuality.
“The FCT Water Board was commissioned to ensure sufficient supply and equitable distribution of potable water to citizens of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, and this duty has always been carried out efficiently and effectively.”
