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.

The Kamanjab Village Council is drilling several boreholes to address the water crisis that residents have been experiencing over the past few months.

Its Chief Executive Officer, Bianca Nguaiko, says the village council received N$5 million from the Office of the Prime Minister to effect this.

Nguaiko says residents have been without water for over six months after the Namwater borehole dried up.

She says that with the funds they received from the Office of the Prime Minister last month, they have appointed a contractor. 

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

The Okakarara Constituency Councillor Ramana Mutjavikua stated that the build-up of calcium and magnesium minerals in the water has negatively affected the town's operations.

The situation has forced the council to estimate the residents' water bills due to inaccurate meter readings caused by the limescale.

Residents of Evale in the Eengodi Constituency are disappointed, with what they term the government's inaction in mitigating the current water crisis in the village and surrounding areas.

More than 30 years after independence, clean drinking water remains elusive to many residents in the Eengodi Constituency of the Oshikoto Region. 

It has become an eyesore as villagers and their livestock slowly make their way in the dense plains towards one of the 13 manmade wells in Evale that caters to about five other villages in the vicinity. 

Omatjete residents say the water crisis is affecting their resolve to grow food and diversify their farming activities.

The persistent drought has decreased underground water sources at Omatjete and surrounding areas in the past 7 years.

Community leaders say only one borehole has remained operational to provide water to the entire community.

A truck transports water from other areas to Omatjete about three days a week to meet the demand but it is not enough.
