This still hasn’t loaded. It looks stuck rather than slow, so reloading is worth a try now.

Francistown's pipe network dates largely to the 1970s and is reported to burst daily somewhere in the city; the Minister has disclosed that WUC is owed P177 million in arrears here — P103 million of it from government itself. WUC publishes no live outage map, so this board is neighbours confirming to each other whose water is actually out right now.
These reports come from neighbours, not the water utility. Anyone can read the board; reporting dry taps takes a free account, which keeps it honest. A report clears itself after about 12 hours, so the board stays current on its own. When several people report the same area, it’s likely the whole area is dry — not just one tap.
