Central Province Permanent Secretary, Milner Mwanakampwe, has disclosed that the government is in discussions with Zesco to address the challenge of load shedding affecting water pump houses.
The discussions are aimed at ensuring a sustainable water supply across the province.
Dr Mwanakampwe said adequate water supply is vital for maintaining hygiene and sanitation among residents of Central Province.
He said this when he met the newly appointed board of the Lukanga Water and Sanitation Company (LgWSC) in Kabwe today.
The Permanent Secretary emphasised the need for the water utility company to prioritise the replacement of obsolete infrastructure, which he said has continued to hamper efficient water delivery in the region.
Dr Mwanakampwe further urged the new board to provide the necessary leadership and oversight to help the company meet public expectations for consistent and reliable water services.
And LgWSC Board Chairperson, Bhakes Desai, pledged the board’s commitment to aligning its strategic goals with those of the government to ensure effective service delivery.
Mr Desai added that the board is determined to improve the company’s operations in the provision of water and sanitation services, acknowledging that the task ahead is challenging but achievable through teamwork and dedication.
