Residents of Omatjete in the Dâures constituency say a long-standing water crisis that constrained both households and farming activities has been largely resolved following the commissioning of the N$29 million Ozondati-Omatjete pipeline last year.
Community leaders are now calling for continued investment to assist neighbouring settlements that continue to struggle with water supply.
The first 23km phase of the pipeline was completed before the final 8km stretch into Omatjete was finalised, connecting the settlement to a reliable water source for the first time in years.
Fabianus Uaseuapuani, a senior Zeraeua Traditional Authority councillor, says the project has transformed daily life in the area after years of unreliable access to water.
