Not going to hash an old story, but this week's pipe burst was one of the main lines into town and caused quite a drop in pressure....
In my own humble opinion, this patching of water lines is a waste of money and only a temporary solution to a much greater problem....
Over the last four months, in an alley way on the way home there have been 4 small water leaks that have been patched..... the company would have saved a bit of money if they had just replaced the entire pipe that we all know is way past it's sell date by 3 decades or so, but instead had to pay private contractors on 4 occasions to "patch" ... do the maths....
If we are serious about the sustainability of the "old oranjemund " town, then we need to start replacing the entire reticulation system...... the longer we leave it, the more costlier it becomes....
Local office is waiting for money to drop from the sky......it's sad. That is future if all town in Namibia...
