Ondangwa acquired new sewer jet to improve services

ONDANGWA – Ondangwa Town Council has completed the manufacturing of a new towed trailer sewer jet, which is currently on its way to the town as part of efforts to strengthen sewerage maintenance and improve service delivery.

Council spokesperson Petrina Shitalangaho-Mutikisha said the equipment would complement the council’s existing sewer truck and ageing hydro blast pump, improving its capacity to respond to sewer blockages and carry out preventative maintenance.

“The acquisition of this modern equipment forms part of council’s continued investment in improving service delivery and strengthening the maintenance of the town’s sewerage infrastructure,” Shitalangaho-Mutikisha said.

The new equipment is expected to help the council respond more effectively to sewer-related challenges, particularly as the town continues to grow and demand for municipal services increases.

Sewerage infrastructure requires regular maintenance to prevent blockages that can disrupt services and pose risks to public health and the environment. The addition of the new sewer jet is intended to strengthen the council’s ability to maintain sewer lines and address problems before they develop into more serious incidents.

Shitalangaho-Mutikisha said the equipment would significantly enhance the council’s capacity to manage its sewer network, reduce downtime caused by blockages and ensure that sewer lines are maintained to the required standard.

The new sewer jet will work alongside the existing sewer truck and hydro blast pump, adding to the equipment available to municipal workers responsible for maintaining the town’s sewerage system.

The investment is also expected to support routine maintenance operations by improving the council’s ability to address sewer-related incidents across Ondangwa. Faster responses to blockages can help limit service disruptions and reduce the potential effects of sewer overflows on residents and surrounding areas.

As Ondangwa expands, the maintenance of essential infrastructure remains important in ensuring that municipal services keep pace with the needs of residents and businesses. Sewerage services form part of the basic infrastructure needed to support public health, protect the environment and promote orderly urban development.

The procurement of the equipment reflects the council’s continued investment in municipal infrastructure and machinery needed to maintain essential services. Reliable sewerage systems are important for households, businesses and public facilities, making regular maintenance a key part of managing a growing town.

According to Shitalangaho-Mutikisha, the equipment will be deployed once it arrives in Ondangwa and has been commissioned

Its deployment will strengthen routine maintenance activities and improve the council’s response to sewerage incidents throughout the town. The council expects the equipment to support its ongoing work to maintain the sewer network and address blockages more efficiently.

The new acquisition comes as local authorities face the responsibility of maintaining existing infrastructure while responding to the needs of growing urban populations.

Having suitable equipment available for sewer maintenance is essential for addressing faults and keeping services operational.

Shitalangaho-Mutikisha said Ondangwa Town Council remained committed to improving service delivery through strategic investments in infrastructure and equipment that meet the needs of its growing community.
