RESIDENTS of Ongwediva will soon have fewer concerns about water interruptions, as the Town Council began renovating the town\u2019s water tower this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Town spokesperson Ottilie Shingenge said that the refurbishment of the water tower will ensure an uninterrupted water supply for the town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Shingenge, work started on Monday and is expected to be completed within four months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She indicated that the Council has allocated a budget of N$5.3 million to complete the project.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cAfter a thorough inspection and analysis of the current condition of the town\u2019s water tower, the Council appointed a contractor to renovate the tower, which supplies water to other towers within the town,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She added that the tower needs refurbishment due to its age, as it has been in operation for decades. As a result, the Council included this renovation in its 2024\/2025 Annual Budget to prevent further issues that could become more costly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shingenge said that residents have experienced water interruptions for some time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She explained that the town\u2019s water supply has been shut off periodically to fill the towers, which then supply different areas in and around the town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe used to open the water supply daily once the towers were fully filled, and residents were asked to store water in containers,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She added that the towers do not receive sufficient water, which depletes quickly, making it difficult to meet demand, while water pressure remains low when pumped from NamWater reservoirs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
