Lusaka Water Supply and Sanitation Company Board Chairperson, Watson Ng’ambi has observed the need to expand the Kaseba Water Intake Plant in Kafue District in order to meet the growing demand for water supply in the area.
Mr Ng’ambi explained that with the construction of the Kafue Multi-Facility Economic Zone on the western part of the district, there is a need to increase water supply.
Speaking in an interview with the media after touring the Iolanda and Kaseba Water Treatment Plants, Mr Ng’ambi noted that coupled with the increasing population along with various developments, there is a need to expand the water intake infrastructure.
“In terms of supplying water to our communities in Lusaka and Kafue, we have faced challenges in reaching all settlements,” he said.
He stressed the urgency of conducting a feasibility study for the expansion of the water intake at the Kaseba Water Treatment Plant.
 “We need to conduct an urgent feasibility study to determine the kind of expansion we need,” Mr Ng’ambi added.
And Kafue District Commissioner, Maurice Hikapulwe noted that while most parts of the district have been receiving adequate water supply, some areas, such as Kasengele, were not receiving adequate water supply.
“We have some communities in Kasengele who are in need of water,” he said.
