The weekend filling up of Gaborone Dam, the first time in 16 years, has not slowed momentum on interventions for Greater Gaborone, with water restrictions remaining in place and provisional environmental approval granted for the P420 million Masama West project.

Gaborone Dam filled up and spilled over on Saturday sparking celebrations and highlighting its return to health, after it failed in December 2014. President Ian Khama has called for a National Day of Thanksgiving this Sunday at Gaborone Dam, to be attended by Cabinet ministers and religious leaders.

Water Utilities Corporation (WUC) spokesperson, Matida Mmipi told Mmegi that despite the Dam’s return to full health, water restrictions currently in place would be maintained.
