Mr Froese also stated that the corporation, bowsers water to Mabele Village on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, once, every two days.

He said in all these bowsing exercises, the corporation is using three water bowsers, two for Flowertown and one for Mabele’s plateau area.

Mr Froese said the corporation is closely monitoring the cleanliness of the water supply due to the current overflowing of the Chobe River.
