The government is spending nearly N$87 million to replace the ageing Omdel-Wlotzkasbaken pipeline, a critical piece of water infrastructure at the central coast.

Since its establishment, the Erongo Desalination Plant has been recognised as an enabler for the region's modern economy.

This year, the plant marks 15 years of existence. 

It is located about 30 kilometres from Swakopmund, near the Wlotzkasbaken settlement.
