OVER US$120 million has been set aside for rehabilitation of the water network system in some selected townships of Lusaka on behalf of the water utility company, Millennium Challenge Account (MCA) communications and outreach manager John Kunda has said.
Dr Kunda said that MCA was prompted to initiate a project to rehabilitate the water network in Lusaka because Lusaka Water and Sewerage Company (LWSC) was losing over 48 percent of the water it was generating as a result of leakages.
He said that the company had already embarked on different projects to replace the water network in selected townships across the city at a total cost of US$ 120 million.
Dr Kunda explained that the main aim of the project was to supply Lusaka with consistent clean water by early next year.
