No more fetching water! This precious resource is now flowing continuously in neighborhoods that had suffered from shortages for so long. “While the pressure remains moderate, the 24/7 availability of water has radically changed our lives. We no longer need to stay up at night to fill containers,” a Jirama customer in 67 Ha testified yesterday.
Since the commissioning of the compact water treatment unit (UCT) in Mandroseza and the reinforcement of the Mandroseza II Bis station, the water supply gap has narrowed. The proportion of neighborhoods experiencing water shortages has dropped from 68% to 60%, according to a presentation by Ranto Rakotonjanahary, coordinator of the Drinking Water Access Improvement Project (Paaep), which is funded by the World Bank. The data was shared yesterday during the restitution workshop for the Master Plan for Drinking Water Supply in Greater Antananarivo by 2052, held at the Carlton Anosy.
