Sewer repairs complete in Margate
All sewerage lines have been tested and confirmed to be operational, says Ugu.
Major repairs carried out to Margate’s sewer infrastructure have been successfully completed.
Flooding during torrential rains in April this year saw sewer pipelines damaged and pump stations submerged in water.
All sewerage lines have been tested and confirmed to be operational, with Margate 3A pump station operating at an optimum capacity.
France Zama, spokesperson of Ugu District Municipality, said the completion of the Margate repairs signals a huge relief for the communities and businesses of this area, especially since Margate is a tourist attraction of choice in the district.
“The recent water sample results being undertaken by environmental health practitioners have indicated compliance with the prescribed limits of the SA water guidelines for recreational use. Therefore, measures are in place towards the opening of Margate beach while regular water sampling continues, he said.
