Pipe replacement work is underway at Ambohimiandra on Jirama's drinking water distribution network. The pipe replacement work on Jirama's drinking water distribution network is finally being implemented. For years, the state-owned company has been losing 800 m³ of drinking water daily due to these aging infrastructures. A necessary evil for users. The pipe replacement work inevitably causes a road closure at Ambohimiandra and a three-day, three-night water supply interruption in several districts of the capital, according to Jirama. Long announced and awaited, these works are finally being carried out to limit drinking water losses in a context already marked by resource scarcity. According to explanations, the objective is to gradually improve distribution in Antananarivo. At Ambohimiandra, the state company is currently replacing a particularly deteriorated pipeline, responsible for significant leaks in the network. The intervention, though constraining for users and residents, is part of a logic to upgrade infrastructures that have become insufficient given the capital's growing needs. According to Rija Ramarosandratana, Deputy Director General in charge of water production and supply, over 800 m³ of drinking water are lost due to the degraded state of this network section. A considerable loss in a context where several Antananarivo districts already face supply difficulties. The ongoing project involves replacing a 500 mm diameter pipe over a length of 150 meters. Work is scheduled for three days and three nights. Jirama's technical teams are mobilized continuously to complete the operation as quickly as possible. This sustained pace aims to minimize disruption duration while ensuring intervention quality and safety. During this period, the Ambohimiandra road is closed to traffic. This measure, essential for securing the worksite and allowing technicians to work effectively, causes inconvenience for motorists and residents. Jirama thus invites users to use alternative routes and show understanding. The intervention also causes temporary water supply interruption in certain districts served by the affected network. Households are therefore urged to make arrangements during the work period. Beyond immediate disruptions, Jirama defends a necessary operation to durably improve network efficiency. By reducing leaks, the objective is to recover a significant portion of water currently lost and strengthen, ultimately, service continuity for subscribers.
