Namwater has announced a planned 48-hour water supply interruption next week, affecting rural pipelines and critical services linked to the Onembenge second tower.
The shutdown will impact the Omulingi–Okakodhi–Ontana rural pipeline network, including its associated sub-branch lines.
Critical service providers such as hospitals, schools, clinics, and police stations within the affected areas are also expected to be impacted.
The planned 48-hour shutdown is set to begin on Monday and will continue until midnight on Tuesday. The interruption is necessary to facilitate the upgrade of the distribution network and the removal of bottleneck fittings at the tower.
“These essential works are part of NamWater’s efforts to improve flow efficiency and enhance service reliability ahead of the anticipated high water demand during the upcoming drought season,” the says in a statement.
