Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>A Lilongwe Water Board (LWB) customer says there were tadpoles in the water coming out of a tap at her home on Saturday morning. The woman took to Twitter to complain about the water being supplied to her home by the water board. She posted a bucket containing water that had several tadpoles.<\/p>\n

\u201cLilongwe water board…..ayi fenks,\u201d she said in a caption for the photo. She added that she reported the matter to the water board and was informed that the tadpoles possibly entered system through a burst water pipe.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, commenters on the posts have condemned the water board over the quality of tap water being supplied to residents. \u201cWhen in Lilongwe I never have tap water last time it kept me in bed a whole 2 days,\u201d one person said.<\/p>\n

Another person said: \u201cAre those tadpoles? ? I\u2019d be so traumatized and never drink or use tap water again. Please, where do you live? I need to know if I need to make arrangements for private water supply if it\u2019s anywhere close to my area\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2017, the Lilongwe Water Board (LWB) supplied contaminated water to residents of Area 18 after the board\u2019s supply pipes burst underground near a broken sewer system, allowing the sewer water to go into the supply pipe. Some victims reported that they had stomachache and other health-related complications after using the contaminated water. In 2020, the High Court in Lilongwe ordered the water board to compensate the victims.<\/p>\n
