First of its kind in Malawi, LWB has state-of-the-art mobile water treatment plant to complement its efforts during water supply emergency situations. The plant is used during disaster and emergency situations such as critical water supply interruptions, total shutdown of one of water treatment plants, and during water rationing program.
The plant is also significant in meeting water supply demands for critical institutions such as hospitals during water supply shortage due to, among others, low water levels and other emerging crisis; and it complements the usual usage of water bowsers.
The plant can operate anywhere even in locations with no access to electricity. It has an inbuilt diesel- driven power generator, but can also be connected to electricity power grid. The mobile water treatment plant has facilities to be used for purification of water for bottling and can treat water from any source including rivers and streams.
