The Epukiro POS 3 is small settlement located in Epukiro constituency in Omahake region and has a population of about 2000 people as of 2025. The settlement has a sewage system consisting of pump station and oxidation ponds. However, the existing sewage system is in a poor state, not properly functional and totally overloaded. The poor state of the sewage system is evident from overflow of raw sewage and overgrown vegetation covering the oxidation ponds. The Omaheke Regional Council, in collaboration with relevant authorities, proposes to construct a new oxidation pond. This exercise will also entail the decommissioning of the existing oxidation ponds. In terms of the Environmental Management Act (EMA, No.07 of 2007) and regulations (No.03 of February 2012), Construction of industrial and domestic wastewater treatment plants and related pipeline systems may not be carried out without an Environmental Clearance Certificate being obtained.
