Zambia’s Energy Regulatory Board (ERB) has shut down Uno Hillview Service Station in Chalala, Lusaka, following reports of fuel contamination at the station.
According to the ERB, after receiving a report of contamination, it directed the suspension of all fuel sales at the station and commenced investigations into the incident.
A statement issued by ERB Public Relations Manager, Namukolo Kasumpa, said preliminary investigations revealed that the incident occurred on Saturday, 8th November 2025, around 09:00 hours.
“Findings so far indicate that a petrol tank at the service station may contain residual water from the recent rainfall, which may have led to the contamination of the fuel,” the statement said.
The ERB assured the public that it is carrying out a full investigation to bring the matter to its logical conclusion, reaffirming its commitment to protecting consumers and ensuring the delivery of quality energy products and services.
