City case notes
Lagos: recent compliance wins
Short wins from residential sampling and treatment rollouts in Lagos.
Hardness measured at 210-260 mg/L; installed softener + RO for drinking points. Scale complaints dropped by ~70% within 8 weeks.
Same-day sampling with lab results in 4 days. Adjusted disinfection and storage turnover; coliform results stayed within limits at follow-up.
Yield test confirmed 5 m3/h with stable recovery. Added carbon + UV, reducing turbidity below 1 NTU after commissioning.
City case notes
Abuja: recent compliance wins
Short wins from household testing and treatment updates in Abuja.
Lab report showed elevated iron and low residual disinfectant. Added oxidising filter and UV; staining complaints cleared within 6 weeks.
Sampling identified inconsistent disinfection. Installed UV on storage loop and updated service cadence; follow-up tests passed within 30 days.
Low turnover caused taste issues. Resized storage and added circulation; taste complaints dropped and cartridge swaps reduced by ~30%.
City case notes
Accra: recent compliance wins
Short wins from borehole and filtration upgrades in Accra.
Sanitary seal and casing review reduced surface ingress risk. Follow-up sampling reported zero coliforms after commissioning.
High iron flagged in lab results. Added carbon + oxidising filter; metallic taste reports reduced within 6 weeks.
Flow variability across a multi-unit block. Balanced storage and added booster control; stable flow reported during peak usage.
Common water issues
WaterLagos: common water issues
The top three issues we see during residential sampling.
Scale and hardness+
Mixed municipal and borehole sources often show 180-260 mg/L hardness. Softening upstream prevents scale on taps and heater elements.
Iron and staining+
Shallow boreholes can carry iron that stains fixtures. Oxidising filtration plus carbon polishing resolves colour and taste.
Microbial spikes+
Rainy season flooding and low storage turnover raise microbial risk. UV disinfection and tank sanitisation after storms are essential.
Common water issues
WaterAbuja: common water issues
Patterns we see across boreholes and estate storage systems.
Scale and hardness+
Borehole supply often drives scale on heaters and taps. Right-sized softeners protect appliances and reduce cartridge changes.
Iron and staining+
Laterite soils can elevate iron. Pre-filtration and iron removal media reduce staining and metallic taste.
Microbial control+
Intermittent supply and storage tanks increase microbial risk. UV and seasonal shock dosing keep results within limits.
Common water issues
WaterAccra: common water issues
Common findings from Accra household sampling.
Scale and mineral load+
Mineral variability by district can affect taste and scale. Softening or RO at drinking points improves clarity.
Iron and turbidity+
Boreholes can introduce iron and sediment. Multi-stage sediment and iron filters stabilise turbidity levels.
Microbial protection+
Rainy season runoff and tank turnover affect microbial safety. UV protection and sealed storage reduce risk.
