The White Plains Water Treatment Plant is one of the Public Utilities Authority under active company in the Republic of Liberia , it serves as a water supply company of the drinking water treatment for the supply area Greater Monrovia with about 1.4 million inhabitants. The waterworks is located on the left bank of the Saint Paul River , about 30 kilometers as the crow flies northeast of the capital.
The first system built with US help was built in 1957 near White Plains near Clay-Ashland and used the natural gradient in the pipeline network. The central distribution station for Monrovia was built in the industrial and commercial area on Bushrod Island .
In the 1970s, all plants were expanded with foreign loans and had an installed capacity of 68,100 m³ per day. With the failure of the Mount Coffee dam , which was used to power the plant, during the civil war, the supply of drinking water collapsed and reached a current capacity (2009) of only 7,600 m³ per day, with a provisional small power plant being used. The renovation of the technical systems is part of a renovation project that has been renovated since 2009 with loans from the EU , the World Bank , the African Development Fund and other creditors.
