The Minister announced a turnaround plan to prioritise Nandoni pipeline and a 35-megalitre command reservoir in order to increase water sourcing. A new bulk line will be connected into the existing village distribution reservoirs and household connections. Fundraising for the 50 distribution reservoirs and household reticulations will be undertaken, and local people will be more involved in subcontracting and employment. The 38 villages, which are excluded from the intervention, will also be considered.
Construction work on the Clanwilliam Dam project
The department will carry out the raising of the dam wall at Clanwilliam Dam in the Western Cape, using its own Construction Unit. The project is planned to start in October, regardless of budget constraints.
Nkwinti said the raising of the dam wall at Clanwilliam Dam in the Western Cape should be prioritised as a matter of urgency, so that the project can start in October. "The issue of budgetary constraints should not be seen as a hindrance to the project. Instead, the project will be done by the department’s Construction Unit," Nkwinti.
