In line with the tradition of the ISWSC culture, a warm welcome was given to them in high hospitality as they were welcomed by the Heads of various departments, and in the process, aligned with the program of events for the day.
Firstly, they visited the office of the HOD Engineering Engr. Iheaka who is also ably representing the MD/CEO Engr. Emeka Ugoanyanwu FNSE FNIWE NPOM KSJI FOSHA who was on an official assignment. The team who wanted to be acquainted with the prospects, executions, and challenges at different projects where hosted by Engr. Iheaka who gave them a brief run down of events, explaining in details the operational modules so far encountered and executed.
Secondly, they visited the ICT facility where the cyber staff took turns at reciting a well articulated progress in the section. The team was pleased to see the ICT facility fully functional as they left in smiles.
Still on the course of the tour, they visited the Commercial department where the HOD Commercial Mrs. Edith Akujobi and other commercial staff took turns at explaining the success and challenges encountered so far. The ERP was also sought after as it was also of utmost concern to know that all parameters are met. And in line with that, a couple of challenges were enumerated and solutions proffered. Along same vein, they visited the Monitoring and Evaluation unit as well as the Accounts Department where the progress on the ERP was also dialogued on.
VISIT TO THE OTANMIRI TREATMENT PLANT
The team visited the Otanmiri Treatment Plant in the company of USAID E-WASH Reps in the state which includes Mr. Eutychus John RTI STL State Team Lead and Engr. Madu Ihedioha Utility Technical Specialist UTS, as well as the HOD Engineering Engr. Charles Iheaka and HOD Water Services Engr. Henry Adiruo of ISWSC respectively. They were taken through the Low Lift, the High Lift, the Treatment Phases, and the Laboratory where the Senior Laboratory Scientist Mrs. Ngozi Onwuasor took a drill to explain the functionality of the laboratories. They were impressed by the State of the Art facility at the Laboratory and the Six (6) brand new Low Lift and High Lift Vertical Turbine installed Pumps seen at Otanmiri as well as the effort put in so far. However, they recommended for more sustainable ways to operate the Flow Meter Reading System.
VISIT TO THE IMO STATE UNIVERSITY
The team also paid a visit to the Imo State University where the already rehabilitated Overhead Tank is situated, the Reticulation of 1.2km Internal Pipeline as a milestone by the State Government, while the E-WASH USAID 3.5km Pipeline construction work from Mbari junction to the Imo State University is ongoing.
The vendor raised some challenges and was resolved by both the consultants and the team after reaching a consensus.
Quite a brainstorming exercise.
VISIT TO THE EGBEADA DISTRIBUTION STATION
Further on the inspection check was the Visit to the Egbeada Distribution station where they were dazzled by the good presentation of HOD Engineering and HOD Water Services. However, the team was worried about the redundancy of the Pumps due to the poor condition of the transmission lines to the EWT.
The team along side the USAID E-WASH Imo Reps., and the HOD’s Engineering and Water Services respectively, deliberated on possible outcomes to fix all challenges enumerated on the tour.
On a lighter note, the team thanked His Excellency, Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodinma The Executive Governor of Imo State, and the MD/CEO Engr. Emeka Ugoanyanwu FNSE FNIWE NPOM KSJI FOSHA for the good job that has been put in so far and also thanked all staff that have assisted to achieve this milestone.

The review check was quite a successful one indeed.
