Mozambique: New Water Treatment Station Eases Restrictions

President Filipe Nyusi on 2 June inaugurated a new water treatment plant in Moamba district, about 60 kilometres northwest of the capital, which will reduce restrictions on the water supply to the Greater Maputo Metropolitan Area. The system will supply about 650,000 consumers with access to drinking water.

The water system, which cost US$173 million funded by the World Bank, includes a 95 kilometre pipeline from the reservoir behind the Corumana dam to Machava, in the city of Matola, plus an 18 kilometre extension to distribution centres in Mathlemele and Guava. With a capacity to produce 60,000 cubic metres of water a day, which will double when the second phase is concluded by September, the system will enable 360 kilometres of extensions to the distribution network and 100,000 new domestic connections of which 66,000 have already been concluded.
