NamWater has decreased water supply to the City of Windhoek from 75% to 40% of the total demand.

This is because three dams supplying water to Windhoek are running low due to a minimal inflow during the rainy season.

This came to light during the council's meeting.

Residents of the Suncity location at Rundu have been without running water for months. 

They have now resorted to collecting water from the supply lines found above the ground. 

Residents say they have been without water since October last year, while others have never had running water since their taps were installed. 

This has left the community with no choice but to get water from any other pipe.

Sewage removal and water supply business owners at Rundu are unhappy with the order by the local town council for them to stop fetching water at the Rundu beach.

This, they claim, will severely affect their business.

The water supply business owners have been fetching water at Rundu Beach and supplying it to settlements around the town without tap water.

The business owners claim that the water at Rundu Beach is much cleaner than that in other parts of the river.

The Outjo Town Council has drilled a larger borehole to increase the water supply to the town and address water supply challenges.

Although the town supplies water from its underground water reservoir, the supply has been a challenge for over four years. This is largely due to the subduction of underground water, continued infrastructure damage, and vandalism of the system that pumps water.

The farming community in the vicinity of Kaukurus in the Omaheke Region's Gobabis Constituency met to discuss developmental matters as an encouragement for the residents to take ownership of development in the region.

Gobabis Councillor Augustinius Tebele says his office wants to ensure that communities are involved in the regional development, and planning process and that everyone's input matters.
