| PRESENTATION | The objective of the Lomahasha/ Namaacha (LoNa) cross-border water project is to supply water to the two border towns of Namaacha (Mozambique) and Lomahasha (Swaziland), located around 80 km west of Maputo (around 100,000 inhabitants). The two countries entered into an agreement to ensure that the two localities were provided with potable water supply service. The project comprises a pumping treated water and construction of two booster pump stations and a 1,600 cubic metre reservoir in Lomahasha. Further, a 105 km water supply distribution network for Namaacha and Lomahasha is foreseen as well as 540 m of connection pipe from the trunk main to Lomahasha reservoir. The project began as the Siteki Lomahasha water supply project, funded under the Government of Eswatini. Due to financial constraints, EWSC concentrated on the Siteki component which is now almost complete while the Lomahasha component was suspended. The project was developed by SADC Water Infrastructure Development Program. |
