NamWater has begun installing pre-paid water meters in Keetmanshoop to curb escalating debt and improve water management. Spokesperson Lot Ndamanomhata confirmed the system will come into effect once installations are complete.

The Namibia Local Business Association (NALOBA) has expressed concern over the recent decision by NamWater to award a major water pipeline tender of N$237 million to a Chinese company.

NALOBA said NamWater bypassed competent local businesses.
