PMC Unveils Estate Sewerage Upgrades, Promising Cleaner Living and Greener Standards
The Property Management Corporation (PMC) is finally turning the tide on one of Seychelles’ most overlooked urban headaches: outdated and failing sewerage systems.
In a major push to modernise public housing infrastructure, PMC has launched a wide-reaching upgrade programme aimed at improving hygiene, safety, and environmental sustainability across its managed estates. And yes—residents are already breathing easier.
Since 2024, the corporation has established a dedicated sewerage management unit tasked with addressing years of complaints ranging from blocked drainage and foul odours to raw sewage leaks and the environmental degradation that often followed. For many tenants, these upgrades couldn’t come soon enough.
“We had gotten used to seeing the same puddles of waste every time it rained. Now, finally, things are changing,” said one resident of a housing estate in Anse Aux Pins.
According to PMC officials, the new unit is focused on preventive maintenance, complete system overhauls, and the introduction of modern treatment technologies tailored to the scale and layout of each estate.
The effort is not just about comfort—it’s about public health and environmental integrity. Poorly maintained sewage systems have long posed a risk to nearby wetlands, beaches, and even potable water sources. With climate change putting additional strain on infrastructure, the urgency to act has never been greater.
While PMC hasn’t released the full list of estates undergoing renovation, early reports indicate works are currently ongoing or scheduled in areas across Mahé, Praslin, and La Digue.
This initiative is part of a broader shift within PMC to transform itself from a reactive landlord into a proactive public asset manager. And if these sewerage upgrades are any sign of what’s to come, residents might finally have reason to feel at home again—in both comfort and dignity.
Stay tuned as we follow this story and speak to more communities benefiting from the upgrades.
