The project, held in partnership with the Omaheke Regional Council, local leaders, and contractors aims to address the community’s critical water challenges by ensuring access to clean and reliable water.

According to NamWater CEO, Abraham Nehemia, the project will include the drilling of 11 boreholes – nine for water production and two as backups – alongside the installation of pipelines, reservoirs and electrical infrastructure.

Once completed, the project will deliver 265 cubic metres of water daily to the residents of Epukiro Post 3. 

“This project embodies our collective commitment to overcoming the challenges presented by our country’s arid environment and the increasing demands placed upon our water resources. This groundbreaking ceremony celebrates not just the start of construction but our commitment to sustainable development and the well-being of the Epukiro Post 3 community,” he said. 

Namibia’s water scarcity, driven by arid conditions and over-abstracted boreholes, has heavily impacted rural settlements like Epukiro Post 3.

This project not only provides an immediate solution to these challenges but also fosters long-term sustainable growth, better health outcomes, and improved quality of life for the community, Nehemia said.

Also speaking at the groundbreaking event, Epukiro Constituency Councillor, Packy Pakarae, expressed gratitude to NamWater and the government for addressing the long-standing need for potable water in the area. He commended the collaboration between stakeholders in executing the project. 

NamWater says it has dedicated the required funding to support the project’s success, with a phased rollout planned to ensure effective implementation.

NamWater emphasised the collaborative efforts of the Omaheke Regional Council, local leaders, and contractors, whose support has been instrumental in launching the transformative initiative.
