BONG COUNTY, LIBERIA-The Management of the Liberia Water and Sewer Corporation has broken ground for the construction of a scalable water project in Totota, Bong County.
The six-month project is estimated at more than one hundred and eighty thousand US Dollars.
LWSC Managing Director, Mohammed Ali, said:” The project, which will be constructed in phases, is expected to provide short-term jobs for several youths in the area”.
MD Ali noted that the initiative is part of a broader effort to provide safe, affordable water to thousands of citizens across the country.
He emphasized the importance of community support and cooperation in the success of the project.
The LWSC appreciated the efforts of Senator Prince Moye and Representative Moima Briggs Mensah for playing leading roles in ensuring that the project is funded.
Providing an overview of the project, LWSC Director for Technical Services, Joseph Bonah, said the water system will include two elevated towers expected to be powered by solar energy.
Additionally, he added that the project will include geophysical surveys and training for local youth to acquire advanced skills and knowledge about the water system.
Bonah emphasized that the six-month water project is designed to supply water to residents of Totota and surrounding communities.
At the same time, Bong County District Six Representative, Moima Briggs-Mensah, has called for increased community involvement in the management of projects to ensure potential economic benefits.
Representative Briggs-Mensah says:” The involvement of citizens in projects that directly benefit them is vital to ensuring their sustainability and impact”.
She spoke on Friday, August 10, 2026, in Totota, Bong County during the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of a modern water system.
The Bong County District Six Lawmaker emphasized the need for the creation of meaningful opportunities through education for youth empowerment and advancement.
She, however, urged citizens of the county to focus more on the gains being achieved by this administration rather than future electioneering plans.
Representative Briggs-Mensah, at the same time, criticised past administrations for what she termed as failing to address pressing needs of the people.
More than fifteen thousand residents of Totota District, Bong County are poised to benefit from clean pipe-borne water in the coming months.
This followed the groundbreaking of a modern water supply project by the management of LWSC.
Meanwhile, citizens of Totota District have welcomed the construction of a modern water supply system in the area.
The citizens, including the District Commissioner, Youth and Women leaders, promised to massively get involved in the construction and maintenance of the project upon its completion.
They believe the modern water supply system, when constructed, will enable citizens to have access to safe and clean pipe-borne water across the district.
They lauded the efforts of the LWSC Management and their lawmakers for making sure that Totota District benefits from such a lifesaving project.
