The Municipality of Walvis Bay aims to provide bulk and basic services and housing for the development of Green Valley Proper and Extensions 1 - 5 (Farm 37). A minimum of 1500 erven will be constructed. The services will be done under the Decentralised Build Together Program and/or any other housing schemes applicable to various community-based organisations for the decongestion, and relocation of Otweya fire victims and backyard squatters and Narraville people without water. Amongst the basic services to be provided is a wastewater treatment facility. Ultimately the Municipality intends to put up an advanced treatment plant. However, the growing population and urban expansion in the Green Valley extensions have necessitated an urgent sustainable and scalable wastewater management solution. It is on this basis that the Municipality proposes the construction of temporary sewer oxidation ponds to serve Green Valley Proper and Extensions 1 – 5, as an emergency and interim treatment solution. Oxygen pond systems although expensive to construct and require considerable areas for evaporation, are simple to operate and can be incorporated easily, quickly and cost-effectively in communities. The Proponent (Municipality of Walvis Bay) has appointed Environam Consultants Trading (ECT) to undertake the EIA process for this project and to apply for an ECC, in terms of the Environmental Management Act No. 7 of 2007 and its Regulations of 2012.
