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 />
