Missionvale bucket toilets days are numbered

By

Missionvale Buckets
Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality Mayoral Committee Member for Infrastructure and Engineering, Councillor Andile Mfunda (wearing reflector jacket and hard hat) visited Missionvale Township today to check progress on the eradication of bucket toilets project.

Councillor Mfunda was pleased with progress made. Although he promised the people of Missionvale that by end of April they would have flushing toilets, a four week delay due to challenges with SMMEs resulted in the delay. Seen in the picture is Water and Sanitation Director, Barry Martin (pointing) showing Councillor Mfunda the work that has been done in the R3 million new Treatment Works that has already been finished. Water has also been connected to 700 households with meter readers already installed and working. Municipal officials have committed to work around the clock to recover lost time and delivery before end of June. Councillor Mfunda also addressed the affected community who were happy with progress made and the report they got. R50 million has been invested in sanitation and water infrastructure in Missionvale.
