Eveline Street car washes to be relocated soon

THE City of Windhoek’s relocation of carwash businesses along Eveline Street in the Greenwell Matongo residential area in Katutura is set for October this year.

The City of Windhoek’s chief engineer in the road and storm water division, Dirk Reed told Nampa upon enquiry Tuesday that the road surface in Eveline Street has been damaged by running chemical water from different car washes along the road, and this caused many potholes.’There are so many car washes in Eveline Street, and they are all illegal. Thus, we have allocated two carwash facilities to avoid the continuous damage of the road,’ explained Reed.One carwash will be situated in Monica Street, and the other in Monte Christo Road.He noted that these facilities will be constructed with a sewage system to avoid redundant inconvenience. Reed said these facilities will be completed by the end of September this year, and will be rented out at a fee still to be announced as soon as the facilities are open.Thus, the chief engineer said the potholes in the infamous Eveline Street will not be fixed until car washes are relocated to the legal facilities.The City last year resolved that N$3 million be invested towards the establishment of carwash facilities in Eveline Street, in Katutura close to Soweto Market, as well as in Okuryangava and Wanaheda.The City Council said during a monthly meeting late last year that these sites will be developed at an interval of two sites per annum. – Nampa
