<\/p>\n

CAPITAL projects to the value of N$2,3 million have commenced in Omitara in the Omaheke Region, in response to the growing demands in the settlement.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The projects include upgrading the sewer pump station by the Omaheke Regional Council at a cost of N$1,23 million. This project, which commenced on 28 September 2021, is nearing completion and is expected to be completed by March 2022 once the contractor has obtained and installed the sewer pumps.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In the past, residents experienced frequent sewer blockages due to the growing demands of Omitara.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tauno Iileka, spokesperson of the Omaheke regional office, explained that the regional council has repaired the blockages several times but this did not solve the problem.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a permanent solution, budgetary provisions were, therefore, made to overhaul the sewer pump system and repair the refuse trap, a system intended to collect litter and debris flushed down the sewer system,\u201d Iileka said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He added that due to rapid population growth there was also a demand to increase the capacity of electricity supply.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Regional Council engaged Cenored to upgrade the existing transformer and construct a new low-voltage supply line with street lights, Iileka said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The project is expected to cost N$580 000, and is funded by the council and Cenored in a 50\/50 cost-sharing arrangement.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The electricity expansion project commenced on Friday, 28 January 2022, and is expected to be completed by 28 April this year.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Iileka said the regional council has further commenced with the construction of a 650 m gravel road in the settlement as well as blading of minor roads. This project is funded by the Road Fund Administration and is expected to cost N$470 000. It commenced on Monday, 31 January 2022, and is expected to be completed before the end of February.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Omitara is one of the seven settlements in the Omaheke Region.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It has a population of about 800 people, with a rapid population growth rate. Most residents of Omitara are employed by the local school, a clinic and a police station as well as commercial farms surrounding the area. Other sources of employment and income include communal farming and small business activities.<\/p>\n
