JWSC blames lack of water supply on faulty transformer in Jos-Bukuru
The management of Jos Water Services Corporation (JWSC) has attributed the unavailability of potable water in Jos-Bukuru metropolis to the breakdown of its Yakubu Gwom treatment plant transformer.

Mr Samchi said the Yakubu Gowon treatment plant, a major water treatment plant that supplied potable water to Jos-Bukuru Metropolis had not been pumping water since January 10 due to the breakdown of its transformer caused by an electrical surge.
He said the JWSC”s management and technical personnel were working proactively to ensure that the transformer was fixed to commence the supply of potable water to Jos- Bukuru metropolis.
The MD revealed that the Laminga water treatment plant near British American junction and Nabor gwong treatment plants were functional.
