In pursuit of our mission to deliver safe, efficient, and accessible water services to all, we at Lusaka Water Supply and Sanitation Company (LWSC) continue to deepen partnerships with communities across our service areas.

At the heart of this commitment lies our shared vision of transparency, accountability, and collective responsibility in water management.

This week, we convened a stakeholder engagement meeting at Mtendere Primary School in Zambia Compound, Kafue.

The gathering brought together community leaders, councillor representatives, Ward Development Committee (WDC) members, and our regional team to address pressing issues surrounding water supply in the Soloboni area.

The meeting focused on four critical pillars:

- Raising community awareness of our water supply systems and service expectations;

- Strengthening infrastructure security to protect our water assets;

- Promoting payment compliance for our water services, especially among newly connected households;

- Combating illegal water connections and related activities that undermine our service delivery.

Our Western Regional Manager, Mr. Kango Mwanza, emphasized the importance of community vigilance and adherence to our water service regulations.

He urged residents to report unauthorized activities and take pride in safeguarding our water infrastructure.

Mr. Mwanza also reminded households recently connected to LWSC through the Constituency Development Fund (CDF)-supported network to pay the standard connection fee of K1,000 by 31st January 2026 to regularize their access and ensure continued service.

Municipal representatives from Syabusale and Matanda wards echoed a unified message, sustainable water supply is a shared responsibility that requires close collaboration between service providers, local authorities, and the community.

Together with our stakeholders, we reaffirmed our commitment to building a future where every household in Kafue enjoys reliable, legal, and dignified access to clean and safe water.

With strong leadership and active community participation, sustainable water management is not only possible it is within reach.
