SPTC To Phase- Out Pit Latrines By December

Speaking during the full council meeting held last week, Mayor, Lekang Mukokomani said the construction of sewer lines and pump stations in different parts of Selebi-Phikwe have been completed and the project was handed over to the council in April. He mentioned that they have achieved the 100 percent access to water borne sewerage system except a few areas which were omitted from the original design which are in Sesame and Ikageleng wards.

"Reticulation is however currently being extended to these areas under the additional works which are funded through the savings realised from the major project. These additional works also include the upgrading of old sewer lines which were discovered to be operating beyond their capacity," said Mukokomani.
