Technicians from the municipal energy and water department restored the broken drinking water distribution system over a period of seven days, the only one in the town, which is 20 kilometres from the Mulondo communal headquarters.
Speaking on the occasion of the delivery of the equipment, Moisé Mário Kalei, the head of the Energy and Water section of the Matala administration, explained that the system had been paralysed due to the failure of some of the equipment, which was replaced.
The intervention, according to the source, made it possible to increase the supply capacity to more than 60 cubic metres per hour and maintain a permanent supply to the population and to goats, cattle and pigs.
Mulondo commune is 125 kilometres south of Matala, a municipality 180 kilometres east of Lubango, the capital of Huíla province.
