No dry taps for Christmas – BWB

The Blantyre Water Board (BWB) has assured residents in the commercial city that they are to have running water during the Christmas season.

According to BWB, the residents should also be assured of continued water supply during the 2016/17 rainy season.

In a statement, BWB has applauded residents in the city for their support to the board on various activities.

“This has enabled the board to work in an effective and efficient manner, thereby ensuring restoration of water supply within 24 hours, an improvement that has resulted in increased revenue,” reads part of the statement.

The board has also applauded residents for reporting on leakages of water and bursting of pipes saying that it has helped the board to minimize losses encountered after losing water from such cases.

The board has since been geared to tap water from Mulanje Mountain to ensure that the residents of the city take water shortage as history.
