THERE

is need to find out from Lusaka Water Sewerage Company (LWSC) why the residents of Kabanana site and service have been experiencing erratic water supply even after working on the tank that supplies water to them, Raphael Chota Ward 22 councillor, Joseph Tamba has said.

Mr Tamba expressed sadness that despite the efforts that had been done to work on the leaking tank, Kabanana had continued to face water crisis forcing the residents to move long distances in search of the commodity.

In an interview with the Daily Nation, Mr Tamba said he had received a number of complaints from residents in the area regarding the water crisis.

“The residents of Kabanana site and service in block 30, 40, 50, 60, and 90 have been affected by water crisis.

“The water tank was leaking but it has since been worked on but we are surprised that there is a water crisis.

“As councillor I ‘ am looking into that issue and I ‘am very much aware that there is a shortage of water supply in the area,” he said.

Mr Tamba was hopeful that once he organises for the meeting with utility company the water situation would improve in the area.
