File photo.As a huge water pipeline project was being carried out by Rand Water in Gauteng on Monday, water and sanitation minister Senzo Mchunu said his office was looking at providing support to other provinces experiencing water woes.
Mchunu touched on the longstanding issues in Gqeberha in the Eastern Cape and eThekwini in KwaZulu-Natal. “We are in constant communication with our office in the Eastern Cape and we have been informed of the challenges in Gqeberha as a result of the decreasing dam levels caused by an increase in demand. This will affect activities in the CBD, industrial areas and some suburbs towards the western side. To address this, we need to realise the completion of the Nooitgedacht water scheme, which we are attending to,” he said.
In eThekwini, Mchunu said, the Umgeni and eThekwini metros were looking into conducting maintenance of their infrastructure responsible for water disruptions.
