Usakos water supply to be phased down

USAKOS will face phased reductions and a full suspension of water supply from 21 September to 9 October 2026, with NamWater urging residents and institutions to conserve water and make contingency arrangements. The corporation said the conditions relate to five years of unpaid water accounts, while the amount owed by the Usakos Town Council has not been publicly disclosed.

Namibia Water Corporation Limited (NamWater) said the phased reduction and suspension follows the failure by the Usakos Town Council to provide written confirmation accepting conditions outlined in a 25 August 2026 letter, or submit an alternative proposal that would achieve an equivalent outcome.

Under the programme, water supply will be suspended daily from 17:00 to 08:00 the following morning from 21 to 25 September.

From 28 September to 5 October, supply will be suspended daily from 17:00 to 08:00, with an additional interruption from 12:00 to 14:00.
