NamWater continues the battle to provide water to the northern regions, a situation that has severely impacted humans and livestock in especially remote rural areas.

NamWater Operations Manager Abraham Ashipala has called on the government to consider settling the debts owed to it by rural water schemes.

Oshana local water committee owes the water utility N$59,6 million.

NamWater is working on the rehabilitation of its canal in an effort to ensure that the northern communities have access to an ample supply of clean drinking water.

NamWater has removed a wall that was built by individuals at Omuthitugwaamalwa Village to divert or privatise water.

The wall interrupted water flow from Olushandja Dam's south wall outlet into the Etaka-Uuvudhiya canal for some 130 kilometres.

The leadership of the Zambezi region has welcomed the anticipated construction of a raw water pipeline by NamWater.

This pipeline project carries a price tag of N$2.4 million and is poised to effectively meet the future forecasted water needs across both urban and rural areas of the region.

NamWater started pumping water from Olushandja Dam's South wall outlet into the Etaka-Uuvudhiya canal 130 kilometres away.

The water will benefit livestock that are affected by drought in the Oshana and Omusati regions.
 

The rehabilitation work on the Namwater canal from Olushandja Dam to Uuvudhiya Constituency, stretching over 130 kilometres, is said to be progressing well.

The N$3 million project is funded by the Office of the Prime Minister and is expected to be completed by September this year.

The outgoing chairperson of the Namwater Board of Directors announced that they are leaving the company with a positive balance, having improved it by N$215 million compared to when they assumed their position.

The Ondangwa Town Council has allocated grounds for the construction of an elevated water reservoir, to secure constant water for its new extensions.

This was revealed by the town's Chief Executive Officer Ismael Namgongo in an interview with nbc news.

NamWater has started attending to the Okakarara Constituency's water crisis regarding the build-up of calcium and magnesium minerals in their water.
