The United State Agency for International Development USAID has engaged the service of FullPlan Associate to carry out comprehensive block mapping and enumeration of water consumers in 10 communities in Delta state.
FullPlan Associate is a private firm. Under the USAID E-WASH, the international body is embarking on the exercise in collaboration with the Delta State Urban Water Corporation with a view to improving water supply to the communities.
The liaison officer, FullPlan Associates, Mrs Ezenwa Ebele, who disclosed this on Wednesday, Oct. 30, said the exercise was geared towards improving the performance of water corporation to achieve its short, medium and long term objectives.
According to her, the area to be covered during the exercise are Asaba, Ugwashi-Uku, Kwale, Ozoro, Ugheli, Bomadi, Warri, Agbor, Orerokpe and Sapele.
