Ondangwa, July 19 – Ondangwa Town Council witnessed a significant stride in sanitation improvement as Easy-Care Trading cc, a contracted company responsible for the installation and construction of part of Ext 28 (Onguta) sewer and water reticulation, handed over a fully completed project this morning. The newly established sewer system will greatly benefit 367 ervens of various land uses, representing a major step towards enhanced sanitation infrastructure. With the project’s total cost amounting to approximately N$7.5 million, the council invested significant resources to ensure the successful completion of the initiative, which concluded in June of this year.
The Ondangwa Town Council’s spokesperson, Petrina Shitalangaho-Mutikisha, stated that 178 ervens have already been completely serviced with water and sewer connections and are already occupied. Furthermore, 102 ervens in the same region have received partial service and now have access to water, sewage, and electricity. This development demonstrates the council’s dedication to supplying people with necessary amenities, promoting a higher standard of living, and enhancing living conditions.
Looking ahead, Shitalangaho-Mutikisha disclosed that the council has allocated budgetary provisions in the current financial year to extend the services to Ext 28. Specifically, plans are in place to provide electricity connections and lay down bitumen roads, further augmenting the infrastructure of the area. These planned developments are poised to enhance accessibility and convenience for residents, contributing to overall community well-being.
The completion of the sewer system in Onguta marks a significant milestone in Ondangwa’s pursuit of improved sanitation infrastructure.
With the successful implementation of this project, the council continues to prioritize the needs of its residents, aiming to create healthier and more sustainable living environments. As the town progresses with its plans for Ext 28, residents can look forward to further enhancements and increased access to essential services. ~Namibia Daily News
