Epe Local Government has commenced the construction of solar-powered boreholes across eight communities as part of efforts to improve access to sustainable water supply for residents.
Epe Insights reports that the project is being implemented under the leadership of the Executive Chairman of Epe Local Government, Hon. Princess Surah O. Animashaun, FHTI.
The communities covered by the initiative include Oke Balogun, Etitun, Idi Aba, Okeposun, Ojewunmi, KLM, Agboriode and Owolomoshe Streets.
The project is designed to bring a more dependable source of water closer to residents in the benefiting communities.
The solar-powered facilities will utilise renewable energy to support water production, providing an alternative source of power for the borehole systems.
According to the administration, the initiative goes beyond the construction of infrastructure, focusing on addressing an everyday need affecting residents across the local government.
Access to reliable water remains important to households and communities, making the development relevant to daily activities and wellbeing.
The solar-powered design is also intended to provide a sustainable solution that can serve the communities over an extended period.
By incorporating solar energy into the project, the facilities are expected to reduce reliance on conventional electricity sources while supporting continued water availability.
The initiative forms part of the local government’s efforts to translate development plans into practical projects that directly benefit residents.
The administration said its focus remains on identifying community needs and responding with projects capable of producing visible and lasting impact.
For residents of the eight benefiting communities, the boreholes are expected to provide greater convenience by bringing water infrastructure closer to their homes and neighbourhoods.
The project also highlights the importance of community-level infrastructure in improving living conditions and supporting sustainable development.
Hon. Princess Surah O. Animashaun has reiterated the administration’s commitment to implementing projects that address the practical needs of Epe residents.
The solar-powered boreholes represent one of the interventions aimed at providing essential infrastructure within the local government.
As construction progresses, residents in the benefiting communities are expected to look forward to the completion and commissioning of the facilities.
The project reflects an approach focused on practical solutions, sustainable infrastructure and community development.
Beyond providing water, the initiative demonstrates the value of using renewable energy to support essential public infrastructure.
The eight communities are expected to benefit from improved access to a dependable water source once the facilities are completed and put into use.
The administration maintained that its development agenda is centred on delivering projects that respond to residents’ needs and improve everyday life.
The solar-powered borehole project therefore marks another step towards strengthening basic infrastructure across Epe Local Government.
With work underway across the eight locations, the initiative is expected to contribute to improved water access and sustainable community development in Epe.
