Is the end in sight for the drama of no water in Opuwo? I don't know, but it could be. An article in today's issue of The Namibian, Water Woes Leave Opuwo in the Dust, seems to indicate that progress is being made. The situation has gotten pretty desperate--people are paying exorbitant prices for just a bottle of drinkable water. The town has signed an agreement so that NamWater will take over water distribution in the city, and hopefully the water will be turned on again next Friday. On another interesting note, Gideon Petersen's program (mentioned in his last update) where he coordinated with other church pastors to pay for water to be brought in by truck, was also mentioned in the article. So the Petersen's and the Seventh-Day Adventist church are receiving good publicity through the newspaper article, as well.
