LWSC Conducts Feasibility Study Tour in South Eastern Liberia

The Liberia Water and Sewer Corporation (LWSC), led by Managing Director Hon. Mohammed Ali has embarked on a two-week feasibility study tour in Southeastern Liberia. This initiative aims to assess the potential for expanding piped water services to key cities in the region, specifically Zwedru, Pleebo, and Greenville.

The objectives of the feasibility study are to identify suitable locations for the construction of a pipe network, evaluate sites for ground water systems and water purification facilities and conduct thorough analyses to ensure the safety and availability of water in the selected areas.

Managing Director Ali and team, inclusive of Deputy Managing Director for Technical Services Hon. Patrick Sandikie, and others will also assess local communities for the installation of public kiosks as well as identify public structures in need of water connectivity.

As part of its ambitious plan, LWSC aims to rehabilitate, construct, and modernize water facilities across all fifteen counties in Liberia by the end of 2029. This effort follows significant degradation of water infrastructure that occurred during the Liberian civil war, particularly in Zwedru and Greenville, which previously had functioning piped water systems.

The feasibility tour has on one hand sparked hope and optimism among residents in the cities of Greenville and Zwedru for the restoration of piped water services while on the other hand Pleebo residents are hopeful about gaining access to piped water for the first time in Liberia’s history.

The LWSC’s South Eastern feasibility tour reflects the corporation’s commitment to enhancing water accessibility and quality across Liberia. By analyzing existing conditions and exploring opportunities for infrastructure development, the Corporation is taking essential steps toward achieving its operational objectives and improving the quality of life for communities in South Eastern Liberia.
