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.

Since its establishment, the Erongo Desalination Plant has been recognised as an enabler for the region's modern economy.

This year, the plant marks 15 years of existence. 

It is located about 30 kilometres from Swakopmund, near the Wlotzkasbaken settlement.
