The Wastewater
Management Authority is responsible for the collection treatment and
disposal of wastewater throughout Mauritius and Rodrigues. The organization
focuses on its vision to equip Mauritius and Rodrigues with the
state-of-the-art sewerage system so as to preserve public health and to
ensure a sustainable and clean environment.
The
transportation of both passengers and goods depends on the island's well
developed road network. A motorway links the north of the island - via Port
Louis the Capital City - to the south and the international airport. There
are frequent bus services throughout the island, though they stop operating
in the early evening. Taxis are readily available during the day. Visitors
wishing to rent a car can do so through local companies like Mauritius Car
Rental and internationally known companies such as Avis, Hertz, Europcar,
Budget etc.
The modern international
airport accounts for over 40 international flights on a daily basis. Air
Mauritius, the national airline, has non-stop services to major cities like
London, Paris, Geneva, New Delhi, Singapore, Hong Kong, Johannesburg, Perth,
etc. Other major airlines serving Mauritius are Air France, British Airways,
Emirates, Singapore Airlines, South African Airways, Air India, Turkish
Airlines and Lufthansa. A strategic alliance between Air Mauritius and Air
France was established thus offering 19 weekly flights to and from Paris.
