Grand Gedeh County, Liberia |May 7, 2026 |The Managing Director of the Liberia Water and Sewer Corporation (LWSC), Mo Ali, has highlighted a series of ongoing and planned water supply projects aimed at improving access to safe drinking water across Liberia.
Speaking on Smile FM during a working tour of southeastern Liberia, Ali disclosed that the LWSC team is currently assessing major construction and rehabilitation works in Zwedru, Pleebo, and Sinoe County.
He emphasized that the projects are being fully funded by the Government of Liberia as part of efforts to strengthen the country’s water infrastructure.
According to him, significant progress is being made in restoring damaged and outdated water systems across the southeast. “In Zwedru and Greenville, we are rehabilitating existing water systems,” Ali stated, noting that the interventions are intended to improve water service delivery in communities where infrastructure has deteriorated over the years.
He further revealed that the government is financing the construction of an entirely new water supply system in Pleebo, Maryland County.
The project, he said, represents a major milestone in expanding access to clean and safe drinking water for residents of the area.
Ali also announced that LWSC has secured funding for a new water supply project in River Gee County, with a feasibility study expected to begin within the next one to two weeks.
Beyond southeastern Liberia, the LWSC Managing Director disclosed plans to conduct additional feasibility studies in Gbarnga, Buchanan, and Kakata, signaling what he described as a broader national strategy to modernize and expand water infrastructure across the country.
Meanwhile, Ali disclosed that a new water supply system will also be constructed in Compound Three, Grand Bassa County, as part of ongoing efforts to provide safe drinking water to underserved communities.
The latest update from the LWSC underscores the Government of Liberia’s continued commitment to improving access to clean water nationwide, particularly in rural communities and rapidly growing urban centers.
