Bloem Water together with the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) will celebrate World Water Day with a media engagement in Bloemfontein.
Bloem Water’s Kido Thoabala explains in a media statement that the purpose of the interaction is to explain how the department and its entities work in unison to provide much-needed essential services to communities.
The celebration comes on the heels of Mangaung residents' struggle with dry taps due to a water pipeline burst at Welbedacht Dam.
