Erongo Governor Neville Andre believes residents can speed up the construction of the Ozondati-Omatjete water pipeline if they volunteer their services.

The governor attended a groundbreaking ceremony for phase 3 of the Ozondati-Omatjete water pipeline at Ondjombo.

The water interruptions caused by frequent breakdowns and pipe bursts at Katima Mulilo will soon be something of the past.

This comes after NamWater commissioned the water pipeline replacement project on Tuesday.
