Denmark gives Tshwane R33m to manage water security: The Danish embassy has donated R33m to the City of Tshwane to help the municipality improve water security and learn how to manage water for its residents.
The second phase of the city's water security strategy was launched at the University of Pretoria’s Future Africa Campus on Monday in partnership with Denmark’s City of Aarhus.
The funds will go to water management, reducing non-revenue water losses caused by leaks, leak detection, replacing pipes, generating water and managing waste water. Tshwane mayor Cilliers Brink and deputy head of mission at the embassy of Denmark Jacob Stensdal speak on the project for water security in the city.The first phase included detecting leaks in Pretoria West and Garsfontein, which uncovered a number of meter problems, theft and vandalism of water meters. There are also many instances of leakages inside homes, accompanied by unpaid municipal utility bills.
