The manufacturing process and state of a Purewater factory has raised concerns on social media as people worry about consumers of the product.
The video which has begun serving rounds online shows how water is packaged in a yet to be identified Purewater company.
A young man is seen seating behind a sealing machine and filling sachets with water before sealing it off and it’s thrown into a big bowl which is then assembled by another person.

Sometime ago in 2021, the Lagos State Government sealed 30 Water Factories across the State for unhygienic production environment, failure to comply with regulatory provisions as well as operating without adhering to good manufacturing practices.
Executive Secretary of LASWARCO, Mrs. Funke Adepoju, who disclosed this to newsmen at the time, said the enforcement was in line with the mandate of the Commission to protect residents from unhygienic water consumption, stressing that the exercise would be sustained.
In her words ;
“In as much as we have the mandate to ensure that operators remain in business, we also cannot fold our arms and allow infractions to fester without being addressed. The primary regulatory mandate of the Commission is to ensure that operators in the water abstraction, production and distribution industry comply with best manufacturing procedures to safeguard the health of the people”.
Mrs. Adepoju said the level of poor and unwholesome practices discovered in some water factories in Lagos was not only disheartening but frightening, vowing that Lagos State Water Regulatory Commission (LASWARCO) would do all within its powers to ward off any attempt to put the lives of residents in jeopardy.
