Mwense residents ‘cry’ over erratic water supply

Share

Some Mwense residents are concerned with the erratic water supply in the area.

The situation has raised fears of possible water borne diseases such as cholera,
which has already reported in the district.

The residents have been forced to draw untreated water from nearby streams for home use.

The shortage, which has just added to already poor eratic water supply by Mwense
District council, is attributed to broken down water pumps at the main in-lake.

However, Acting Council Secretary, Bruce Mujajati, could not be reached for comment
as he was reported out of town by press time.

Meanwhile, the Cholera situation earlier reported in the District is being contained.

District Director of Health Judith Mwansa told ZANIS that the situation at Lukwesa
and Kawama rural health centres, where cholera cases were earlier reported, has been
contained.
