Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>The mayor of Tsumeb, Mathew Hangula, says the town’s municipality will issue a media statement this week on the outcome of tests carried out after the town’s water was declared unfit for human consumption in December.<\/p>\n

The town’s water was declared unfit for human consumption based on a quarterly microbiological water quality assessment by copper smelter Dundee Precious Metals.<\/p>\n

It was not clear what the microbiological content detected in the water was, as no resident complained about any health issues.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will release a statement on Wednesday,\u201d Hangula said. He declined to shed more light on the matter.<\/p>\n

However, The Namibian learned that the mayor and the town’s chief executive officer, Victoria Kapenda, have been in Windhoek since last week to present the water test results to different ministries.<\/p>\n

This includes a decontamination plan estimated to cost millions of Namibia dollars.<\/p>\n

The Namibian understands that according to test results received by the municipality all water supply points are contaminated.<\/p>\n
