The recent breakdown of the motor pump units in Matadi has caused a severe water shortage in several neighborhoods. The REGIDESO of Matadi, led by Théodore Kabeya Ngandu, is working tirelessly to address this technical issue that has persisted for nearly four days.
In an interview with Fatshimetrie, Théodore Kabeya Ngandu emphasized the significance of this situation and the measures being taken to resolve it. The malfunction of one of the two pump sets in the catchment on April 13 led to the service interruption, impacting residents, especially those in the mountainous areas of Matadi.
The complexity of the collection system, which requires three high-pressure pump units for optimal operation, has posed challenges for REGIDESO in maintaining regular water distribution during this outage. Despite this, the REGIDESO maintenance team has been working around the clock since the incident started to restore normalcy as soon as possible.
Théodore Kabeya Ngandu aims to reassure the public by stating that water supply should gradually return to normal by Tuesday. This announcement brings hope to affected residents and underscores REGIDESO’s commitment to swiftly address technical issues.
This situation underscores the critical importance of access to drinking water for the well-being and health of the population. It is essential for relevant authorities and companies to implement preventive measures to ensure continuous and efficient water distribution, minimizing service disruptions.
In conclusion, this incident highlights the necessity of investing in the maintenance and modernization of water infrastructure to guarantee a reliable and sustainable water supply to all residents. It is hoped that the efforts undertaken by REGIDESO will swiftly resolve the current situation and prevent similar interruptions in the future.
