NamWater has started with Phase 3 of its upgrade of the Kuiseb Collector pipeline near Walvis Bay.

The renovations are expected to be completed by next year to ensure a reliable and integrated water supply at the coast. 

The Kuiseb and Omdel aquifers have traditionally provided towns on the central coast with water, with the Orano desalination plant joining the list of providers at a later stage.

The government drilled boreholes and built pipelines to supply water.
