Gaborone upgrades 'bloated' sewerage plant

Engineers involved in the project say the upgrading is urgently required as current inflows to the Plant are estimated at 55 million litres (55 megalitres) per day, forcing authorities to utilise various systems to accommodate the excess.

Even after next month's project, engineers expect that the expanded capacity will be sufficient for between two and three years, before another upgrade is required, due to the capital's rapid residential and commercial expansion.
