LWSS TIPPED

By Patricia Banda:

The Parliamentary Committee on Parastatals Bodies has urged Lusaka Water Supply and Sanitation Company -LWSS- to consider reviewing its operational costs in order to be viable.

Parliamentary Committee Chairperson BRIAN KAMBITA said this is because the company’s costs are higher than its revenue collection.

Mr. KAMBITA, who is also Zambezi East Member of Parliament, said this after the Committee toured water and sanitation facilities in Lusaka, Chilanga and the Kafue Water bulk project.

The Committee also visited sanitation treatment plant in Chawama and checked on new toilets been constructed under the 300 Million Dollars Lusaka Sanitation project.

And Lusaka Water Supply and Sanitation Company Board Chairperson RICHIE NAWA has disclosed that the company is at the moment engaging ZESCO Limited on reducing its tariffs for the company to be able to manage pumping water.

Mr. NAWA explained that the demand for water for Lusaka is now at 429 thousand Cubic litres but that the company is currently at 250 thousand Cubic Litres.

He disclosed that the new project at the water plant has added 150 thousand cubic litres.

Earlier, Director of Finance COSMAS MAKALA told the Committee that electricity bill for the company has increased from 4 point 5 million to 12 Million Kwacha per month.
