Case study on improving the water supply system in Maseru, Lesotho

This case study outlines how the Water and Sewerage Company (WASCO) of Lesotho is taking measures to improve the water supply system of the capital city Maseru, primarily by reducing water losses through leakages. The report describes the challenges facing WASCO and explains how CRIDF has worked with the utility company to pilot investments in improving water pressure, water treatment and pumping and the water billing system. The report also presents the benefits that such approaches could bring if applied throughout Southern Africa.
