Lusaka Water and Sewerage Company (LWSC) has reiterated its appeal to vegetable growers using human waste as manure in the city to take responsibility of their health by refraining from engaging in unhealthy practices.
LWSC Public Relations Manager Simon Mwale observed that it was not only the growers who were exposed to health hazards but also customers who bought these vegetables.
Mr. Mwale told ZANIS in an interview in Lusaka yesterday that human waste contained micro organisms harmful to one’s health hence the need for vegetable growers to curtail such practices.
He explained that human waste was supposed to pass within the pond but it was unfortunate that it was being diverted and used as fertiliser.
Mr. Mwale also stated that the utility company had been doing everything possible to sensitise the growers on effects of using human waste as manure they did not heed to the warning.
Some vegetables such as rape and cabbage are being grown by residents of Chamba Valley area in Lusaka using human waste from a nearby Kaunda Square stabilisation pond.
And recently, the general public registered their concerns to the water utility company to ensure that this trend was brought to an end.
