Lagos is set to experience a temporary water supply disruption in Ikeja, Ogudu, and other areas as the Adiyan I Water Treatment Plant undergoes critical repair and replacement works.
The announcement was made by the Lagos Water Corporation (LWC) via a statement published on its official website on Tuesday, January 27, 2026.
The disruption is linked to repair works on a major raw water pipeline at the Akute Intake Station, which the Corporation said has been affecting construction activities at the Adiyan Phase II project.
LWC said the disruption would affect areas including Akiode, Ikeja, Magodo, Oregun, Ketu, Ojota, Maryland, Aromire, Ogudu, Gbagada, Shomolu, Ojuelegba, Oyingbo, Ijora Olopa, Agege, and parts of Lagos Island.
“The Lagos Water Corporation (LWC) has announced a temporary disruption in water supply to parts of the Lagos metropolis, including Akiode, Ikeja, Magodo, Oregun, Ketu, Ojota, Maryland, Aromire, Ogudu, Gbagada, Shomolu, Ojuelegba, Oyingbo, Ijora Olopa, Agege, and parts of Lagos Island, to enable the completion of critical repair and replacement works at the Adiyan I Water Treatment Plant,” the statement read in part.
It added, “According to the statement, the planned repair works are necessary to address a leakage on the ND1600mm Adiyan raw water pipeline located at the Akute Intake Station.”
The statement assured customers that efforts were being intensified to complete the repair and replacement works promptly, adding that water supply restoration was expected soon.
According to the Corporation, the pipeline leakage has caused a continuous flow of water, saturating the surrounding soil.
The Corporation added that the persistent leakage has been disrupting ongoing construction of the Adiyan Phase II project, making the temporary shutdown of the Adiyan I Water Treatment Plant unavoidable.
Temporary water disruptions in Lagos are not new.
The state government confirmed the leakage at the time, assured residents that immediate action was being taken to address the issue, and subsequently restored the water supply to the affected areas.
The Lagos State Government is working to expand pipe-borne water access to the majority of households by 2027, a timeline provided by the Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab.
He assured that, despite timeline adjustments, the Adiyan Phase II project is expected to be completed by the last quarter of 2027, ensuring a more reliable water supply across Lagos State.
