Mauritius' Minister of Water Resources, Deven Nagalingum, accompanied by a team from the Central Water Authority (CWA), visited Camp-Levieux on October 31 to explore the possibility of utilizing the water canal along Avenue Crétin. The goal is to harness this resource to contribute to the water supply of the National Housing Development Corporation (NHDC) of Camp-Levieux and surrounding areas. The minister stated that the initiative aims to alleviate the water supply problem in the region.
The proposed project involves installing a pump to channel water from the canal into the network, potentially providing up to 2,000 cubic meters of water per hour. However, several steps need to be taken before the project can be implemented. Water samples have been collected and sent to a laboratory for quality testing. The water will require treatment, filtration, and chlorination before distribution. The CWA plans to install a mobile filtration system under pressure.
The CWA has confirmed that the necessary electrical installations are already available on site. The project's success depends on the results of the water quality analysis and the effective implementation of the filtration system. If the results are satisfactory, the project could significantly enhance the water supply in Camp-Levieux. The minister expressed satisfaction with the progress of the preparations during his visit.
The water supply issue in Camp-Levieux has been a significant concern for residents. The proposed solution is seen as a potential relief measure. However, the project's implementation is contingent upon the completion of technical steps and favorable analysis results. The minister emphasized the importance of expediting the installation process to provide timely support to the affected residents.
The Central Water Authority is working closely with the Ministry of Water Resources to implement the project. The CWA's team is responsible for the technical aspects of the project, including the installation of the filtration system and pump. The collaboration between the ministry and the CWA is crucial to the project's success.
The project has the potential to positively impact the lives of residents in Camp-Levieux and surrounding areas. The minister's visit and the progress of the preparations indicate a commitment to addressing the water supply issue. The project's implementation will depend on the effective execution of the planned steps.
The Mauritian government's efforts to address water supply challenges are ongoing. The exploration of alternative water sources, such as the canal along Avenue Crétin, demonstrates the government's commitment to finding solutions to the island's water supply issues. The project's outcome will be closely monitored, and its success could serve as a model for future initiatives.
