The Okakarara Town Council says it is making efforts to improve road infrastructure, sewerage, and water reticulation, as well as satisfy the demand for housing in the town.

Okakarara is situated a few kilometres east of the Waterberg Mountain in the Otjozondjupa Region and is home to just over 7,000 inhabitants. 

The Chief Executive Officer of the town, Ehrnst Katjiku, told nbc News that the council is operating on a shoestring budget. 

The council received N$1.3 million for road infrastructure maintenance for this financial year.

Okakarara Town Council has been sending estimated water bills, and this is causing inaccurate meter readings.

Over the years the Okakarara Town Council has been buying bulk water from NamWater filled with limescale.

Limescale is a result of hard water filled with minerals including calcium, carbonate, magnesium and manganese.

Although the water is not harmful for human consumption, it causes damage to pipes and causes inaccurate meter readings.
