The National Office for Water and Sanitation (ONEA) plans a gradual restoration of drinking-water supply in Ouagadougou, Ziniaré and Pabré from Friday 23 October 2026, according to a statement by the Burkinabè public body. It apologised to subscribers affected by the pressure drops and outages recorded in recent days.
To increase production and stabilise pressure, ONEA has deployed network monitors along strategic routes, carried out pipe flushing operations in the Bassinko area and begun the gradual commissioning of boreholes in Bassinko, Garghin and Tabtenga. The interventions are aimed in particular at households in elevated areas. While waiting for the water supply to return, the organisation advises affected users to build up reserves during periods when water is available.
