NamWater says it has restored the quality of water supplied to Rehoboth, in Namibia’s Hardap Region, after problems linked to deposits and particles. The company still plans adjustments over two weeks to stabilise supplies in the long term, the daily New Era reports.

NamWater, Namibia’s public water utility, says it has restored water quality in Rehoboth, in the Hardap Region. Its spokesperson, Lot Ndamanonhata, said the problem had been resolved on Wednesday.

Images circulated in the preceding days showed cloudy water in some parts of the town, while other residents were receiving clear water. Ndamanonhata explained that the particles in the water came from the surrounding soil and rocks.
