By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on Senego
A leak on a main pipeline has disrupted drinking water supplies to 13 Dakar neighbourhoods since 9 November, including Grand Dakar, Point E, Zone A and Zone B, according to Sen’Eau. The company says its teams are repairing the pipeline and expects service to gradually return during the night of 9 to 10 November.
Sen’Eau attributed the leak that disrupted water distribution in 13 Dakar neighbourhoods to work carried out by a third-party company in the Sicap area. In a statement dated 9 November, the company said its teams were mobilised to repair the main pipeline.
Senenews reports that a return to normal is expected gradually during the night of 9 to 10 November. Water supplies could be restored at different times depending on the neighbourhood, as the network gradually resumes operation.
