Namibia: Water supply disruption planned in Khomas Region, 08:00-20:00 May 23 due to maintenance

Event

Namibia Water Corporation (NamWater) plans to temporarily disrupt water distribution in the Khomas Region, particularly in Windhoek, between the hours of 08:00-20:00 May 23 due to maintenance work prompted by pipe leaks in the Von Bach - Windhoek water transfer network. NamWater has asked residents to plan accordingly for the outage.

Business disruptions are possible, especially for companies that rely on large quantities of municipal water. The water outages could extend beyond the estimated restoration time.

Advice

Stock up on drinking water and confirm alternative water supplies for business operations if operating in the impacted areas. Use only bottled water from reputable suppliers for drinking and hygienic purposes. Water pressure and quality may be poor after service resumes; run taps for several minutes before using water. Minimize nonessential water use throughout the outage.
