COMMUNITY Alert: Hon. Cllr Mutaleni Encourages Smarter Use of Public Water
By: Petrus Hagura
Karas Media House has confirmed a public health concern raised by Hon. Cllr. Junior N. Mutaleni via his page regarding the misuse of water from public toilets in Amilema and Area 7 despite the availability of designated public water taps.
Speaking in his personal capacity, Cllr. Mutaleni stressed the importance of responsible water use and community hygiene. He noted that although Council has not yet resumed formal operations, councillors remain active in the field, monitoring concerns ahead of the first official Council meetings later this month.
He reminded the public that misuse of municipal services is a violation of the Local Authorities Act (Act No. 23 of 1992) and called for community cooperation and awareness. Plans are underway for local engagement sessions to promote education and responsible service use.
