Debswana quenches Maboane

MABOANE: Thirsty days for residents of Maboane in the Kweneng District are over, thanks to Debswana’s Jwaneng Mine water reservoir and electrified water pump station.

The two projects that were recently handed over by the general manager, Albert Milton will improve water supply to the village as well as Dutlwe and Takatokwane.

The village has been experiencing shortage of water due to poor pressure and a small reservoir that serviced the village, which has increased in population over the past years.  Kgosi Kaisara Phuthego explained that water supply has been a challenge and they could go for days without a drop. He said Maboane is surrounded by water wells and was grateful for the electrification of the pump station that will also assist in quick supply and distribution of water to the community.  He said the water shortage had also brought theft of water and cables from the Jwaneng Mine wellfields at Magagarape.
