The Msukaligwa Local Municipality has appointed AES Consulting to refurbish and upgrade the Breyten Water Treatment Works.

According to the municipality, the site will be handed over on the 31st of August 2020. Work is said to begin on 1 September 2020 with the shutdown of the water treatment works.

“It is expected that the work will be completed on 3 September 2020,” Mr Mandla Zwane, spokesman for the Msukaligwa Municipality, said.

He added that this would, however, be subject to favourable weather conditions.

During this period the affected areas/high lying area will be supplied with water through water tankers.

“Communities are advised against paying for water from these water tanks as this water is free.” Mr Zwane urged anyone who is forced to pay for water to report it to their respective ward councillors. Read the complete article in the Highvelder.
