FOCUS<br />
Sanitation to fast-track the augmentation<br />
of the Nooitgedacht/<br />
Coega Low-Level Scheme to increase<br />
capacity of water supply<br />
from the Orange River System to<br />
Nelson Mandela Bay from 70Ml/d<br />
to 160Ml/d.<br />
The project includes the<br />
construction of a 45Ml balancing<br />
reservoir at the Olifantskop<br />
reservoir site; rehabilitation of<br />
the Missionvale Pipeline; and<br />
civil works for a 70Ml/d extension<br />
to the Nooitgedacht water<br />
treatment works, including a 6Ml<br />
clear water well, six gravity filters,<br />
a sedimentation tank and inlet<br />
structure, pipeline extensions<br />
and control valves and a filter<br />
backwash recycle facility.<br />
The total project cost is estimated<br />
between R318-million<br />
and R510-million, with a budget<br />
of R128-million approved for the<br />
2016/17 financial year. The construction<br />
phase is currently underway<br />
and the project is expected<br />
to be complete by October 2018.<br />
Thousands in Ndlambe<br />
communities to benefit<br />
from major bulk water<br />
supply project<br />
Communities within the Ndlambe<br />
Local Municipality are set to benefit<br />
from a R370-million bulk water<br />
supply project aimed at providing<br />
long-term sustainable bulk water<br />
supply in the area.<br />
The Ndlambe Regional Bulk<br />
Water Supply project entails the<br />
construction of:<br />
• A new Reverse Osmosis (RO)<br />
plant at Port Alfred.<br />
• Supply of groundwater from Central Bolt.<br />
• Brine discharge line to the sea outfall.<br />
• New potable storage reservoir and internal pipelines at Port Alfred.<br />
• New reservoir, pump station and pipeline at Cannon Rocks.<br />
• New reservoir and pipeline at Alexandria.<br />
The project will augment water supply to the coastal towns of Port<br />
Alfred, Alexandria and Cannon Rocks.<br />
This will ensure an increase in the quantity and quality of water<br />
supplied to the area.<br />
Water supply to Alexandria will also be augmented through the construction<br />
of a new rising main from the coastal well fields at Fishkraals<br />
and <strong>Cape</strong> Padrone.<br />
Bathurst, Boknes, Kenton-on-Sea, Seafield/Kleinemonde, and<br />
Bushman’s River are also earmarked to benefit from this project.<br />
The project commenced in September 2011 and will be complete<br />
in February <strong>2017</strong>.<br />
