Africa-Press – Namibia. THE Namibia Water Corporation (NamWater) has announced a planned water supply shutdown in parts of the Oshikoto Region from Monday, 9 June 2025 at midnight (00:00) until Tuesday, 10 June 2025 at midnight (00:00).
Lot Ndamanomhata, NamWater’s Head of Public Relations and Corporate Communications, said that the shutdown will affect all distribution pipelines supplied from the Onembenge 2nd Tower in the Oshikoto Region. This, he explained, means that all communities supplied by the Omulingi-Okakodhi-Ontana rural pipeline network, including all associated sub-branch lines, will be impacted.
He noted that the shutdown is necessary to upgrade the distribution network and to remove 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,” Ndamanomhata explained.
He therefore urged all residents in the affected areas to store enough water in advance to last throughout the shutdown period.
Ndamanomhata also advised all essential service institutions such as hospitals, schools, clinics and police stations with urgent water needs during the shutdown to contact NamWater representatives Tommy Sheelongo, Operations Manager, on 081 147 7911, or Nicodemus Ndemwiimba, Schemes Superintendent, on 081 145 5267.
“NamWater sincerely apologises for any inconvenience caused by this necessary maintenance and appreciates your patience and cooperation as we work to improve water service delivery,” he added.
