The construction of the future water treatment station at Amoronakona remains in the embankment phase. "These works are almost complete. They will be followed by concrete pile casting to consolidate the foundations of future structures, as the soil is particularly unstable," a source from the Ministry of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene stated yesterday. Launched in December 2025, these works remain on the initial schedule. The main challenge is to complete the embankment works before the first rains arrive.
This project is part of the priority phase of the "Jirama Water III" program, funded by the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the European Union. Once operational, the plant will pump raw water directly from the Ikopa before ensuring complete treatment, reaching a production capacity of 2,500 m³ of drinking water per hour.
The project also includes the construction of a water reservoir with a capacity of 1,500 m³ on the heights of Ambohibe, and the installation of a pipeline network of over 23 kilometers to ensure distribution and strengthen the entire network. These pipes will serve a wide area, extending from Analamahitsy in the north to Iavoloha in the south. The first technical tests and official network commissioning are scheduled for September 2027.
