town, such as customer service office.
In the forty-six years since its inception, the
Corporations mandate has expanded to
supplying potable water to all urban
centers and villages in the country, as well
as managing wastewater under the Water
Sector Reforms Programme (WSRP). The
programme resulted from a study to
rationalize the water sector in Botswana
and ensure uniform service levels for all.
The implementation of WSRP effected in
May 2009 and the actual takeover was
completed in 2013
Water Supply
Jwaneng town has a well-established water
supply system for domestic and industrial
use. According to the 2011 Population and
Housing Census a significant percentage of
sixty eight (68%) of Jwaneng population
has access to clean piped water and other
recommendable clean water sources.
Water Resource Development
Jwaneng treated water reuse project which
is led by Jwaneng Mine is being developed
to provide water for the Mine by minimising
water losses through transferring the
overflowing water spillage out of the
reservoir to the Mine. The project which is
expected to deliver 90 000m of waste
water per month from Jwaneng to the
Mine, comes at time of growing water
deficit in Botswana, particularly in the
southern region. Therefore through the reuse
of treated waste water in the mining
process, the project lessens the Mine
dependence on pumping water from
Magagarape well field. This follows the
national development plan path of
distribution of water efficiently to all
demand centers to facilitate economic
activities and meeting of social needs, thus
contributing to economic growth and
human development.
Energy
Botswana Power Corporation is a
parastatal that generates, transmits and
distribute electricity in Botswana, thereby

the coal fired from Morupule power station

Jwaneng like other towns enjoy reduced
connection costs and improved access to
electricity through the National Electricity
Standard Connection cost introduced

Electrification Fund scheme has been made
possible by all electricity users contributing
