Background
The Eswatini Water Supply and Sanitation Access project seeks to increase potable water supply coverage
in the Shiselweni region, notably the corridor from Nhlangano through Matsanjeni-Somtongo to Lavumisa
areas, which currently has a high population with limited access to potable water and sanitation. The region
has two independent water supply systems operated by the EWSC, the Nhlangano Water Supply System
and the Lavumisa Water Supply System, serving areas around the referred cities. The communities and
villages along the road connecting both cities, Road MR 11, rely, mostly, on groundwater, and face
recurrent shortages during the dry season.
