The Ministry of Land Management, Water and Sanitation Services has secured funding for the designed review and improvement of the Letlhakane centralised sewerages and system.

Assistant Minister of Land Management, Water and Sanitation Services, Mr Itumeleng Moipisi told Parliament on Thursday that Mosu, Mokubilo and Mmeya villages were currently supplied by a single borehole situated between Mokubilo and Thamalakane gate (BH 1419).
“A second borehole (BH 7955) which is 7km west of Thamalakane gate has been equipped and is awaiting installation of a portable treatment plant to argument water supply to villages,” he said.
Mr Moipisi noted that the installation of the treatment plant was planned to be completed by December 2017. He added that currently water supply to Mmatshomo and Khwee villages was adequate.
