These small systems have been broken down for over thirty years or are obsolete, and it is not likely that in the short term these will be rehabilitated with public funds.<\/p>\n<p>According to &#8220;Noticias&#8221;, cooperation partners are not interested in financing the rehabilitation of these systems in small towns because they are allegedly more interested in working in the rural interior.<\/p>\n<p>The non-functioning systems affect thousands of people living in the district capitals of Alto Molocue, Gile, Maganja da Costa, Pebane, Namacurra, Morrumbala, Mopeia, Ile, Milange and Namarroi.
