Jirama connects new water treatment station to Antananarivo network

The Jirama utility company completed the connection of the new Mandroseza water treatment station to the existing distribution network in Antananarivo, Madagascar, on Monday, November 2.

This infrastructure project aims to restore water services to a large portion of the capital city and surrounding areas following extensive maintenance work on the facilities. The connection covers various urban districts such as Ambohijatovo and Faravohitra, as well as surrounding communes like Tanjombato and Alasora.

While the physical link to the network is finished, the Jirama says water will not return to homes immediately. The company explained that the scale of the previous interventions requires more time before water flows into the pipes that serve these neighborhoods. Residents in the affected areas continue to wait for regular water supply for their daily needs.

The completion of the connection marks a major milestone in the Mandroseza project, but the final step remains the restoration of flow to households.
