Lilongwe is facing a rise in infrastructure vandalism, stolen water meters, damaged power lines and disrupted telecom networks affecting essential service delivery.

In response, Lilongwe Water Board and other stakeholders have formed the Multistakeholder Joint Coordinating Committee on the Prevention of Infrastructure Theft and Vandalism. The second meeting of the committee was held today at Lifestyle Boutique, with different representatives from the Malawi Police Service, ESCOM, Roads Authority, Central Region Water Board, Lilongwe City Council, TNM (Telekom Networks Malawi), Nacala Logistics Malawi, and the Ministry of Industrialisation, Business, Trade and Tourism.

The meeting resolved to develop a joint utility prevention framework to harmonise security measures and strengthen the protection of infrastructure.

Engineer Gustaff Chikasema, Director of Production and Distribution at LWB, emphasised the importance of community involvement, saying, “We need to engage communities more. When people understand how vandalism affects them, they take ownership and responsibility by reporting any suspicious activity.”

Lilongwe Water Board has reaffirmed its commitment to working collaboratively with all different stakeholders to safeguard its infrastructure as a key to ensuring a continuous supply of water to the city of Lilongwe and the surrounding areas.

Yesterday, the five Water Boards and other water sector stakeholders in the country came together to commemorate World Water Day (which falls on 22 March), highlighting the urgent need to improve access to safe water for women and girls.
‎
‎Held under the theme “Water and Gender Equality: Where Water Flows, Equality Grows,” the event was hosted by the Southern Region Water Board in Liwonde. It focused on the strong link between access to water and gender equality, especially the burden placed on women who often walk long distances to fetch water.

At the commemoration, LWB showcased Dzalanyama Springs, which is producing bottled water and has so far had women taking the lead in most of the areas.
‎
‎Speaking during the event, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Irrigation and Water Development, Honourable Thoko Tembo MP, said the challenges women face in accessing water remain a major concern.
‎
‎“Our women travel long distances to access water. We want to make sure they no longer have to do that,” he said.
‎
‎He added that improving access to safe water is key to reducing inequalities, especially in rural areas where access to piped water is still limited and many communities depend on distant water sources.
‎
‎The commemoration also emphasised continuous efforts to improve water supply systems across the country. As part of the event, the Deputy Minister commissioned the Liwonde-Balaka Water Supply Project, being implemented under the Southern Region Water Board.
‎
‎Board Chairperson for the Southern Region Water Board, Engineer Hutchinson Mtinda, said the project is expected to provide potable water to about 188,000 people in the two areas.
‎
‎As Malawi joined the rest of the world in marking World Water Day, stakeholders emphasised the importance of inclusive access to water in achieving gender equality and sustainable development.

On Saturday, the Lilongwe Water Board (LWB) had the privilege of hosting the Parliamentary Committee on Natural Resources, Energy, and Climate Change. The committee visited our facilities to understand the work we are undertaking to serve the city of Lilongwe.

During the site visit, the team toured the Kauma Wastewater Treatment Plant, a key component of the Lilongwe Water and Sanitation Project. We also showcased the progress of the Treatment Works 3 project, which is set to boost our production capacity by an additional 50 million litres per day, bringing our total supply to 175 million litres daily.

Honourable Tiaone Hendry, MP, Chair of the Committee, expressed her satisfaction with LWB’s strides in both water delivery and sanitation management.

Since taking over sanitation services from the Lilongwe City Council, we have worked diligently to enhance sewer services, now supporting over 10,000 active connections across the city.
