Department of water and sanitation director-general Dr Sean Phillips has announced that Magalies Water will install a potable water treatment plant at its Klipdrift water treatment works plant near cholera-hit Hammanskraal, north of Pretoria.
He said this would help produce about 30 to 40 megalitres of treated drinking water per day, which will be fed into the Hammanskraal piped water distribution system. Phillips said there was already an existing connection between Klipdrift and the piped water distribution system in the area.In the meantime, [the] residents [of Hammanskraal] will continue to be supplied with drinking water from water tankers with strict monitoring and controls.”
Phillips said short-term measures would be taken to reduce the pollution at the Apies River by the Rooiwal wastewater treatment works.
