The Minister of Agriculture, Water and Land Reform commissioned the construction of the Ogongo-Oshakati pipeline replacement project.

The Ogongo-Oshakati pipeline was constructed in the 70s but is now old and no longer supplies sufficient water to Oshakati's residents and surrounding areas.

NamWater says it is adopting new strategies to get additional sources of income, including working with private enterprises to lower the cost of water.

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.
