Metro water augmentation project in an advanced stage

By

The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality continues with the water augmentation plans to bring about a consistent water availability to all areas of the metro.

Although a significant increase in dam levels has been experienced, water availability risk remains, more especially in the western areas of the metro.

This is due a significant high water consumption and an inadequate infrastructure that can maximize usage of water from the Nooitgedagt that is sourced from the Gariep Dam.

For this to be achieved, the metro is working on a project to upgrade the output of the Motherwell Booster Pump Station from 90 mega litres(Ml/day) to120 Ml/day and Stanford Road Booster Pump Station from 100 Ml/day to 135 Ml/day.

This work is now at an advanced stage as a result water distribution will be affected in some areas.
