The Lagos State Government has begun phasing out public water taps to reduce waste and introduce pre-payment metering systems. However, this move may deny many homes access to potable water, as they are not connected to the mains. The government's priority on profit over the public's welfare is questionable, as many areas lack access to safe water. The World Health Organization notes that lack of access to safe water has a major impact on people's health.
