The Municipality of Omaruru has resolved to address its 117-year-old sewerage system and get all its residential and business areas connected to the main sewerage line.

Currently, residents are served by two trucks that collect sewerage waste throughout the day.

More than 42% of households in Namibia do not have toilets, while only 26% use private flush toilets connected to sewers.

This is contained in the 2019–2021 Namibia Census Mapping Basic Report, which was launched in Windhoek.
