According to a recent investigation, Lagosians in highbrow areas like Lekki, Victoria Island and Ikoyi, who use water from boreholes might be drinking contaminated water with their own faeces, Punch reports.
Saturday PUNCH was on a finding mission on the impact of human waste disposal in the Lagos Lagoon when the fact came to light that the construction of septic tanks in these highbrow parts of Lagos was not a good idea.
The Coordinator of the Lagos State Wastewater Office, Mr. Lekan Shodeinde, told Saturday PUNCH that the water table in these areas was too shallow, which is why the construction of both septic and borehole in the same compound is a dangerous affair.
