The Oshakati Town Council water reservoirs project, which is estimated to cost roughly NAD eight million, is intended to increase water pressure and feed about 800 erven in Ompumbu Extension 1, 2, and Ompumbu Proper.
Water tanks and a supply pipeline will be built as part of the project. During the handover, the town’s mayor, Leonard Hango, stated that the construction, which began on 26 October 2021, will be completed by 23 May 2022.
Oshakati has 18 water reservoirs in adjacent townships to maintain and raise water pressure in the event of an emergency.
The bulk water infrastructure project includes the installation of 250 cu mtr raised and 500 cu mtr ground potable water steel tanks. A 1,300 km potable water delivery pipeline will be built from NamWater’s connecting point.
The Oshakati Town Council Water reservoirs project would also include the installation of booster pumps as well as the provision of electricity to the site to power the pumps.
SOK Print Master Design and Construction was granted the construction of bulk services infrastructure.
