Omuthiya Town Council is set to invest N$1.3 million in stormwater infrastructure to address continuous terrestrial runoff issues plaguing the town’s roads and shopping complexes due to rainfall in recent years.
The announcement of this financial commitment to the town’s development was made during the handover of the stormwater infrastructure to Omalenga Construction CC on Monday, 19 February, by Omuthiya Town Council officials and contractors.
The primary objective of the project is to mitigate flooding risks by efficiently channelling and managing runoff water, particularly during the rainy season, both within and around the town.
Currently in its first phase, the project spokesperson for the Omuthiya Town Council, Ottilie Shingenge, stated that the council aims to proceed with phase 2 contingent upon budget availability.
“The continuation of phase 2 will depend on the allocated funds,” she affirmed.
