Namwater will shut off water for two days next week. The company needs to fix pipes and towers that supply rural areas. Workers will upgrade equipment at the Onembenge second tower during the shutdown. Water stops flowing Monday morning and returns late Tuesday night.
The shutdown affects many rural pipeline networks across the region. Omulingi, Okakodhi and Ontana areas will lose water service during this time. Hospitals and schools in these areas must prepare for the water loss. Police stations and clinics will also face water shortages during the repair work.
The company wants to improve water flow before dry season arrives. Officials expect high demand for water when drought conditions worsen later this year. Crews will remove old fittings that slow down water movement through pipes. These upgrades should help water reach customers faster and more reliably. Namwater hopes the improvements will prevent future supply problems during peak demand periods.
