EPA closes Kasoa fuel station over sanitation and flooding concerns
Featured Jul - 10 - 2026 , 13:42 2 minutes read The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) has ordered the closure of Dukes Fuel Station at Kasoa Second Bus Stop in the Central Region over sanitation concerns following the discovery of choked drains in front of the facility, which authorities say have contributed to flooding along the highway.
Speaking in an interview with Channel One TV on Friday, the Kasoa Area Head of the EPA, Mr Abbas Dawood, said an inspection revealed that drains along the front of the fuel station were blocked, causing water to overflow onto the main road during rainfall and creating challenges for both motorists and pedestrians.
The action formed part of an ongoing clean-up exercise conducted on July 10 to improve environmental sanitation and help prevent flooding within the municipality.
