Phase I brought water to Maseru’s peri-urban areas through the installation of pumping stations and transmission pipelines. Phase II will extend the network to encompass the north- and southwest zones of Maseru. Works will include installation of around 150 km of pipelines, house connections and meters for around 3,000 homes, as well as pipelines to connect pumping stations to nearby reservoirs. In addition, the project will construct two 3,750m3 capacity reservoirs, and enlarge two existing ones and build/upgrade pumping stations
