Reinforcing its commitment to the well-being and quality of life of its communities, coalminer Vulcan recently delivered two new solar-powered, self-contained water supply systems in the municipality of Moatize.
The investment, estimated to cost approximately three million meticais, will benefit hundreds of families with regular access to drinking water.
Each system is equipped with submersible pumps powered by solar panels and has tanks with a capacity of 20,000 litres.
The infrastructure, located in the Chipanga and Nhatchere neighbourhoods, is integrated with 12 other systems already implemented by the company, including solar-powered models and hand pumps, as part of a broader plan that includes the construction of 30 boreholes in the region.
During the handover ceremony on August 1st, Mayor of Moatize Carlos Portimão called for the infrastructure to be well managed.
“Together with the leaders and the population, we will establish a management committee to ensure the safety of this infrastructure. We thank Vulcan for these and other initiatives that benefit the communities. We, as the municipality of Moatize, appreciate your presence and your commitment to our city,” said the mayor.
In response, Vulcan representative Reges Tauelia said that the initiative was aligned with the company’s social responsibility philosophy.
“The construction of these two systems aims not only to fulfil our social responsibility agenda, but also to meet the needs of the local population, thus contributing to improving the living conditions of the communities,” Tauelia said.
Tauelia then reiterated Vulcan’s commitment to drilling new boreholes and installing more water supply systems, with the goal of ensuring that more families had access to safe, quality water.
