The government has handed over six projects involving expansion of water and sewerage services on multiple islands to STELCO. 

The Ministry of Climate Change, Environment and Energy said that the projects are aimed at providing essential services to citizens and further strengthening water and sewerage service set ups across the atolls. 

The government has not yet disclosed the specific islands on which these projects will be carried out. 

The ministry said that a key factor of the agreements is ensuring that the services are provided consistently without interruption.

The ministry also stated that the government places high priority on establishing essential services in all inhabited islands of Maldives. They expressed confidence that tasking STELCO with service provision will enhance the quality of services received by the public.
