Answer to Question #233792 in Accounting for Sylvia Kamun

Question

The crisis communication that took in Lusaka Zambia during the Lusaka water contamination at the Lusaka water and sewerage company in 2019

Answer 1

The National Water and Sanitation Council has revealed that the recent water contamination in some parts of Lusaka was caused by sewage overflow.

The NWASCO Acting Director said the initial response from Lusaka Water and Sewerage Company was less proactive and lacked a clear strategy of addressing the issue but later improved.

The regulator has also directed that LWSC immediately takes charge of the operations of the borehole within the Napsa Housing Complex and install a chlorination system and that super chlorination should continue as earlier directed until NWASCO is certain that the situation is under control.
