A burst water main restricted the supply of drinking water to several residential neighbourhoods in the city of Nampula from last Sunday to yesterday.
The burst, on the pipeline between the catchment dam and the distribution tanks, occurred near the area called Bomba 2, in the Napipine neighbourhood.
Our reporter on site found that work by FIPAG technicians had only partially solved the problem, with the incompletely welded pipe still leaking some water.
Senior technician at the Water Supply Investment and Heritage Fund (FIPAG), Novaz Soga, confirmed the interruption in the water supply, but denied that it was the result of a malfunction, but rather of routine maintenance in two separate locations.
He added that residents of the neighbourhoods affected had been informed in advance, and said that the delay in re-establishing the water supply was the result fault of the pumping system.
