Water supply interruption in Tsoundzou II and Kwalé

SMAE (Mahoraise des Eaux) informed its users of a break that occurred this morning on a pipeline supplying part of the village of Tsoundzou II and the entire village of Kwalé. The affected equipment is a ventouse, a type of suction device used in water distribution systems to manage pressure and flow.

SMAE teams working to restore service

SMAE teams are fully mobilized to resolve the incident as soon as possible. The repair process requires a technical cut to the water supply in the affected areas, which includes Tsoundzou II and Kwalé.

Water distribution to resume by noon

Water distribution in these villages is expected to resume once the repair is completed, by 12:00. SMAE has advised users to be prepared for the restoration and to take specific steps to ensure water safety.

Safety guidelines after water is restored

SMAE advises users to close all taps in their homes when water is restored and let the water run slowly for the first few minutes. They should continue running the water until it is clear, collecting it in a container for non-food use.

Boiling water recommended for food use

Users are also advised to boil the water for food use, such as drinking and cooking, during the first half day following the water restoration to ensure it is safe for consumption.
