WUC enhances Gaborone Water quality

The donation paired with revised commercial water treatment agreements was handed over yesterday at the WUC Mmamashia treatment plant.

For several years, WUC has been informing the public to avoid dumping used fats, oils, and grease (FOG) into public drainage systems because of the strain that FOG contaminated effluence places on regional water treatment systems. Potable water microbiologist for WUC, Ronald Samaxa, stated that the reason for this advisory is because water treatment systems used by WUC rely on microorganisms to purify waste water, of which FOG contaminations hinder their ability to do so effectively.
