Sewage water is said to be flowing into the hostel kitchen of the Omega Combined School, in the Kavango East Region, whenever the septic tank is full.

Hostel Matron Eveline Masule says the situation poses a serious health hazard.

The hostel had to be closed for several days in October last year, to allow artisans from the Works and Transport ministry to empty the septic tanks.

The offices of the Directorate of Veterinary Services at Rundu are flooded with the sewage water.

Administrative Officer Ericah Geingos says the situation is posing a hazard and needs urgent intervention.

Geingos says the situation has been going on since July last year, but the Rundu Town Council has allegedly failed to address it.

They say sewage manholes get filled up and overflow every day due to some blockages in the area.
