Cameroon: Yaoundé braces for four days without tap water

People living in Cameroon’s capital city could be without tap water for up to four days, the state-owned water company Camwater has warned.

Camwater says the potential interruption to Yaoundé’s supply from Friday to Monday is a result of essential maintenance works, local media report.

It is not yet clear which neighbourhoods stand to be affected.

Some reports say water treatment malfunctions at Akomnyada, the main plant supplying the city, are to blame for shortages that began months ago.
