Objectives
The principal purpose of this project is to rehabilitate and extend the water supply
and sanitation system of the City of Lubango, considered the second largest city in
Angola.
Project description
The urgent reconstruction works for water supply and sanitation are needed as a basic
requirement for the development of the city and surrounding areas. The project will
supply 70 litres/person/day of domestic water supply to a total of 1 200 000 residents
of Lubango. The project construction activities include:
Rehabilitation of all components of water supply;
Drilling of an additional borehole at Nossa Senhora do Monte Wellfield;
Construction of a water reservoir at Esplanada da Capela; and
Installation of 15 km of sewer interceptors for the sanitation network.
The project will be complemented by a monitoring project for the development of
groundwater in the Tundavala mountains.
Expected results
The benefit from the implementation would be significant to the population in
general. Improvement of the system will bring industrial growth and increase wealth
to the population, particularly with regard to the growth of agro‐food and others
industries with associated increase in employment opportunities. The tourism
industry is growing rapidly.
