The Namibia Water Corporation (NamWater) has completed repair work on the pipeline between Oshakati and Ondangwa after a pipe burst near Okandjengedi on Wednesday morning.
NamWater spokesperson Lot Ndamanomhata said on Thursday that the water supply has been fully restored and is now flowing normally from Oshakati to Ondangwa.
The burst disrupted supply to several areas, including Oneshila to Evululuko in Oshakati, Ongwediva, Ondangwa, Oniipa, Omuthiya Town Councils, and nearby constituencies.
NamWater had informed the public about the interruption and confirmed that maintenance teams had been sent to fix the issue.
“Water supply will resume as soon as the repair works are completed,” said Ndamanomhata during the outage.
He said essential service providers who needed emergency water were advised to contact local operations managers for assistance.
The repairs were completed during the night. Ndamanomhata praised the maintenance team for their swift response and thanked residents and institutions for their patience.
“NamWater is fully committed to delivering a safe, reliable, and sustainable water supply across Namibia,” he said.
