The management of Onitsha Water Works has warned residents against illegal tapping of water from its pipelines, citing the dangers of contamination, pipeline damage and disruption of water supply to law-abiding citizens.
In an interview with the ABS, one of the Project Supervisors, Mr Ugochukwu Areh, emphasized that unauthorized pipeline connections pose serious health risk and increase in maintenance costs.
He explained that individuals invite plumbers to illegally tap water from the pipeline, thereby tampering with the original pipeline network, which he explained leads to low water pressure and leakages while water is being released to the community on daily basis.
