INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

The new water treatment plant was commissioned by

Major General Domkat Y. Bali on 24th April, 1987

Source of water is river kaduna

The capacity of the plant is 150million liters per
day
There are six(6) pumps with capacity of 50million
liters per day, 75 million, and 85 million per day.
The kaduna north water works have two booster
station which include kamazo and tudun-wada.
