New water pumping machines have been acquired for the Asare Water Scheme in Sokoto to restore normal supply to areas benefiting from the scheme in the state.
Acting General Manager Sokoto State Water Board, Alhaji Sama’ila Sanda Umar who disclosed this Thursday in Sokoto, said the existing ones were obsolete.
”The new water pumping machines are expected to arrive in the state by next week,” he said.
