In order to ensure a reliable and increased water supply to Outapi residents and the surrounding areas,  NamWater, China Jiangxi International, and Homefin Properties signed a contract for the extension and upgrade of the Outapi Water Treatment Works.

With a growing urban population and an increase in water demand, the existing Water Treatment Plant, commissioned in 2001, has reached its full capacity.

NamWater's CEO, Abraham Nehemia, says there is an urgent need to expand the plant to meet the current and future water needs.

Representatives from China Jiangxi International and Homefin Properties expressed their readiness to begin work immediately. 

The project valued at over a million dollars is expected to be completed within a year and four months.
