BHC denies accusations of foul smelling houses in Maun

BHC spokesperson, Tebogo Mmokele has told Mmegi that so far, they have monitored the houses and the bio-box technology installed in them and there has been no evidence of malodour."We are monitoring the bio-box on a daily basis and the reports we have so far have not indicated any levels of pollution. The technology is working within stipulated performance standards and to expectations," he said.

He added that an EIA was conducted for the technology and mitigation measures put in place against any risk, including odours. Mmokele was reacting to accusations by NWDC official, Galaletsang Mhapha that the bio-box technology installed in BHC houses in Xhabara is not working properly and has led to a malodorous smell.The houses have not been connected to the sewer lines and use the bio-box instead and Mmoleke blames the NWDC for this state of affairs.
