Fenaka Corporation has announced the resolution of the water supply issues affecting the islands of Hithadhoo, Maradhoo, Maradhoo-Feydhoo, and Feydhoo in Addu City.
Water supply to these islands is provided through a central desalination plant in Hithadhoo. The plant had been struggling to meet the increasing demand during peak hours, causing significant problems for residents.
To address the issue, Fenaka Corporation implemented key initiatives to ensure an uninterrupted water supply. The company sent and installed a new borehole pump, which has now stabilized the water supply to Hithadhoo, Maradhoo, Maradhoo-Feydhoo, and Feydhoo.
Additionally, the Ministry of Construction and Infrastructure has launched a one-year upgrade project, handed over to MWSC, in consultation with government authorities. The project, costing MVR 282 million, aims to provide a permanent solution to Addu City’s water shortage by increasing the existing water storage facility tenfold. This enhancement will enable the system to transition from a four-hour water storage capacity to a seven-day storage capacity, ensuring a reliable and sustained water supply for the future.
