The Lilongwe Water Board (LWB) has said it is saddened after residents in Area 18 in the city on Tuesday received water that was contaminated with sewage.
The board was reacting to concerns from residents in Area 18A who complained that water which was coming from taps had a muddy colour and a terrible stench.
“I am almost certain the water coming out of the taps of Area 18A is from a sewer,” one resident Justin Kamwendo wrote in a Facebook post on Tuesday.
The board said this happened because one of the supply pipes burst underground and near the vicinity, a broken sewer system was emitting sewer water and this water sipped into their supply pipe.
According to a statement released on Tuesday after the incident was reported, LWB workers rushed to close the supply line and started working on the broken pipe.
Meanwhile, the water supply line has been maintained and disinfected and is now being monitored to make sure it is thoroughly cleaned.
The board disclosed that it will further visit each household in the affected area to test their supply to verify the water’s fitness for human consumption.
On Tuesday, residents in the area were being supplied with clean water from a mobile water bowser.

Apologize you must be smoking weed,so what happens after that you should be sued!
Better you are sad but some who used the water are sick I suggest take out your sadness and compasate these people who are sick considering that you bring huge bills without thinking you will do such mistake.Remember he who does nothing makes no mistakes as your customers you need also to understand us that a bill can not just jump from 7000 to 250,000 its magic

ma plant operator amzanga ku LWB anakulembani ntchito ndani???anakulembani kt ntchitoyo mumaiziwa kapena kuti angana anu???mwachititsa manyazi waterboard
Plant operator zikumukhuza bwanji? This is a distribution network problem and not production.
sukuiziwa departmentyo kut imapanga chan
But plant operators are far from distribution segment Richie Kamwendo
then tell me department of operation iz ll about what??
You don’t know what a plant operator does.Let me school you. A plant operator is a person who is involved in water treatment process and pumping at the water treatment plant. Some plant operators are deployed in resevours to boost water to distribution mains. In this case the Plant operator is far from the scenario. This is a distribution network problem being from the distribution department.
This water was already treated but was contaminated in transit. Thats why its an isolated case. Had it been it involved treatment,the whole capital city would have been involved.
Apology is not enough. Ethically LWB should not demand money for supplying contaminated water.
…. Ain’t paying water bills till 2018 … Basop
