<p>The work was undertaken by the
National Water Commission (NWC) and involved extensive pipe-laying and leak
repairs. More than 46 households are being served by the system.</p>

<p>Roger Esson, who has lived in the
area for several years, said he is “very happy for the delivery of the water by
the NWC. We on this side (Norwood Section H) really needed the water… and we
have to give thanks”.</p>

<p>The Norwood Section H water project
forms part of the NWC’s strategic imperative to extend access by residents to
the commodity.</p>
