Mardigras Water Treatment Plant officially commissioned for use

THURSDAY, December 13, 2012 marked yet another major achievement for the National Water and Sewerage Authority (NAWASA) in the delivery of the Authority’s 2009-2014 Strategic Plan.

Built in the 1960’s, the Mardigras Water Treatment Plant continues to receive investments from the Authority including installation of a clarifier, coagulation, chlorination equipment, controlling, monitoring instruments and a generator during 2010-2011. This resulted in high quality water for communities served.

In 2012, a total of 2.7km of 6” and 4” ductile iron transmission mains, 800 metres of distribution lines and required materials were installed for a total spend of EC$946 000. Road reinstatement is ongoing and when completed will signal the end of eight months of dedicated work.

Last week Thursday, the Authority officially signalled active engagement of the upgraded pipelines, which are serving communities from Mardigras through to Africa, Back Street and Mt. Parnassus, at a ceremony at the Mardigras International Pentecostal Assembly Church. (LS)
