MAYOR ELECT MULEYA MOVES TO EASE WATER SHORTAGE IN BENNIE MWIINGA WARD

Mazabuka Mayor-elect Kelvin Muleya has engaged the Southern Water and Sanitation Company, SWSCO, and Zambia Sugar to help address the water shortage in Rahim Compound of Bennie Mwiinga Ward.

Residents of Rahim Compound and surrounding areas have been experiencing serious water challenges despite having a Constituency Development Fund-funded industrial borehole, which is currently not operating due to inadequate water supply.

Following engagements with the two institutions, SWSCO has opened a water kiosk in Rahim Compound, where residents can now access clean water at a cost of one kwacha for five 20-litre containers.

Speaking during a visit to the area this morning, Mr. Muleya said the water kiosk is a temporary measure aimed at easing the water crisis while permanent solutions are being put in place.

He added that he will continue engaging SWSCO and Zambia Sugar to establish more water kiosks at other strategic locations to improve access to clean water for residents.

Meanwhile, residents have welcomed the intervention and thanked Mr. Muleya for responding to their concerns and helping restore access to water.
