\nOSHAKATI: The Oshikuku Town Council has set aside over N.dollars 1.7 million for the rehabilitation of the town’s sewerage ponds.<\/p>\n
Oshikuku Town Council spokesperson, John Siloiso, in an interview with Nampa on Monday said the project has already kicked off and will last for six months.<\/p>\n
According to Siloiso, the rehabilitation of the sewerage ponds forms part of the council’s efforts to ensure effective service delivery.<\/p>\n
Siloiso indicated that the current ponds have a small capacity in relation to the inflow.<\/p>\n
‘The work includes creating an embankment to stop runoff sewer water mixing with rainwater, fencing off the whole area, establishing one more pond and cleaning all existing ponds,’ he said.<\/p>\n
He explained that this is the final area where wastewater from houses ends up and such water becomes a health hazard if not handled and managed properly.<\/p>\n
Cleaning the ponds to remove reeds and sludge as well as constructing additional ponds will increase capacity.<\/p>\n
Siloiso added that the fence is also damaged and
\nresidents are accessing ponds without authorisation, noting that a new fence will be erected to control access to the ponds.<\/p>\n
