NamWater convened a Water Supply and Infrastructure Challenges Planning Workshop and Field Visitation for Business Unit North-West from 28 to 30 October 2026 in Ondangwa.
The Business Unit supplies bulk water to the Omusati, Oshana, Ohangwena and Oshikoto Regions and part of the Kunene Region, mainly through the Calueque–Oshakati system. Customers at the ends of the distribution networks continue to experience supply challenges, particularly during peak demand periods.
Together with the Directorate of Water Supply and Sanitation Coordination and the Directorate of Water Resource Management, participants:
•Assessed infrastructure constraints,
•Identified short-term operational interventions, and •Aligned long-term capital projects.
These projects include canal rehabilitation, water treatment plant upgrades and pipeline extensions. Field visits to key infrastructure sites ensured that planning reflects actual conditions on the ground.
The workshop concluded with an integrated intervention plan that sets out clear responsibilities and timeframes.
NamWater remains committed to providing a reliable and quality water supply to all customers in the North-West Business Unit.
