Fenaka Adds 21 More Islands to Water Supply Network

State-owned utility company Fenaka Corporation Limited has expanded its water supply services in 21 additional islands along with sewerage systems in four more last year, the company has said.

Fenaka said it understood the need to establish and maintain essential services in the islands.

With that, it had undertaken special efforts to ensure uninterrupted services and expand its network during the past year, despite financial difficulties, the company said.

In that regard, Fenaka last year had added 21 more islands taking its network to 107 islands across the Maldives.

The company said it has more than 31,092 water connections, with fresh water production capacity of 10,661 tonnes per day. Last year, Fenaka had increased water production capacity in five islands by 564 tonnes per day.

In addition, 360 new households have been with water connections while 22 islands have been incorporated into its new billing system in September last year, to provide sustainable water services.

The company is providing sewerage services to 92 islands without charging any fee.
