Ogudu get good freshwater access for 40-60m. Quiet residential area with less industrial contamination risk.
For Ogudu, like plenty part of this side of the mainland, public pipe water from the state no reliable, so house dey provide their own. Most home and estate dey run on borehole — one-time drilling, pump and tank cost wey go later dey give years of near-free water — na why to drill na the default answer for anybody wey wan settle here instead of to rent short-term.
How e near the lagoon na the thing to watch. Closer to the water, borehole fit draw small brackish or iron water wey dey stain and taste off, so simple filtration setup na common addition; further inland the groundwater generally cleaner. Either way, almost nobody dey drink straight from tap — bottle or sachet water, or proper drinking filter, na the norm for the kettle. For renter and short stay, tanker delivery dey fill the gap: truckload wey dem pump inside your tank on demand, e cost per litre pass borehole but no upfront cost.
The bottom line for Ogudu na to invest once for good storage and a filter, and the day-to-day water wahala wey dey stress other area go barely touch you here.
