For is part, Rasto Engineering contractor, Mr Erastus Kavezeri said the project was at design stage, which would be followed by construction.<\/p>\n

Mr Kavezeri stated that the company had not yet started recruitment as final design would determine the total number of personnel required.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, general manager of WUC, Letlhakane Mr Kehano Malema stated that over and above the current works, a long term solution project, which aimed to augment water supply in the village, would rehabilitate existing infrastructure and attend to unserviced plots in Letlhakane through National Development Plan 12.<\/p>\n

Mr Malema indicated that the whole village would be modelled and that would determine where to place elevated tanks and a booster station if required.<\/p>\n

In addition, he disclosed that the project tender to establish a treatment plant to treat raw water from Lucara had been awarded and initiation workshop would be held before the end of this month.<\/p>\n

He stated that four contractors had also been engaged to address the backlog of private water connections in the village.<\/p>\n
