CDF Boreholes Provide Clean Water for 10,000 in Lundazi

Ten boreholes in different villages in Lundazi District have started providing clean drinking water to more than 10,000 people.

The boreholes, financed by the Constituency Development Fund (CDF), cost a combined 1,296,805 Kwacha. 

Pilate Ngoma, the Lundazi Town Council's Public Relations Officer, told ZNBC News that “since 1964, the people here, our brothers and sisters, mothers and children, have never tasted safe, clean water from the tap.”

Three of the 10 water systems are mechanised and solar-powered, and a solar-powered water reticulation system installed in Zabinduka Village in Kapichila Chiefdom provides clean drinking water to more than 1,000 people. 

Judith Hara, 58, welcomed the new boreholes, telling reporters, "For the past 35 years, residents have not had easy access to the essential resource; piped water is now a reality.”
