OWWC is <strong>on</strong>ly resp<strong>on</strong>sible <strong>for</strong> waste water in the area of Muscat. All the rural<br />

areas are under the resp<strong>on</strong>sibility of the Ministry of Regi<strong>on</strong>al Municipalities. A<br />

third company is resp<strong>on</strong>sible <strong>for</strong> Salalah. Solid waste is managed by other<br />

authorities. The infrastructure of waste water management is under<br />

development. It is targeted to reach 80% coverage in 2013. The today’s yearly<br />

amount of waste water is around 43,000 m3. The activities are actually<br />

c<strong>on</strong>centrated <strong>on</strong> the higher populated areas.<br />

There is no biogas producti<strong>on</strong> due to small amount of waste. Waste is partly<br />

used <strong>for</strong> fertilizer producti<strong>on</strong>. A new composting facility shall start operati<strong>on</strong> in<br />

2010. The capacity was not communicated. The yearly operati<strong>on</strong>al cost of<br />

OWWC amounts to 2.6 m USD.<br />

The attitude to renewables was very positive. The shortage of gas should<br />

especially taken into c<strong>on</strong>siderati<strong>on</strong> when talking about renewables.<br />
