Lagos State Government has reaffirmed its commitment to managing the state’s water resources efficiently.
Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, said Lagos State Water Regulatory Commission (LASWARCO), the regulatory body overseeing water supply, treatment and distribution, had made strides in improving water regulation and service delivery.
He said LASWARCO had obtained ISO 9001 and ISO 17025 certifications, making it the first water regulatory commission in Nigeria to achieve the international standards.
‘’This milestone reflects the commission’s commitment to quality and safety management, ensuring water provision and service delivery meet global standards,’’ Wahab added.
He said LASWARCO had developed essential regulatory tools, including licensing guidelines, performance-based contracts and water quality regulations, to enhance oversight and transparency.
He said the commission had introduced a mobile application for real-time registration and monitoring of packaged water producers, increasing compliance among industrial and commercial abstractors from 10 per cent to 55 per cent.
