Erongo region faces water shortages

Breadcrumb

Parts of Karibib, Walvis Bay Rural, and the Daures constituencies are still facing water shortages.

Erongo Governor Neville Andre raised this during a visit by Prime Minister Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila. The Office of the Prime Minister donated a water tank truck last year for water to be delivered to the Daures Constituency, where the resource is scarce at settlements such as Omatjete. Regional Governor Neville Andre says due to high demand, the constituency needs an additional truck because some areas in Karibib and Walvis Bay Rural have joined the list.

The Education Director in the Omusati Region, Benny Eiseb, is concerned about water shortages being experienced at a number of schools in the region.

Eiseb informed the Prime Minister, who was in the region to assess service delivery, that 40 schools in the region were facing water shortages.

Some schools are sharing water from community boreholes with schools that have no source of water. However, the tires of the car, which the directorate uses to take water to schools, are worn out.
