This was part of a knowledge-sharing initiative about the City\u2019s plans towards becoming a water-resilient city by including alternative water-supply sources by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The delegation visited Cape Town through an invitation from RockBlue, a global non-profit organisation working to create a world where everyone living in urban areas in low- and middle-income countries has access to clean water and basic sanitation. The visit guided delegates through industry best practices and how the City strives to implement these through operations at Water and Sanitation facilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cZandvliet WWTW is one of the key facilities strategically linked to the City\u2019s New Water Programme, specifically the implementation of water reuse. High-quality treated effluent from Zandvliet WWTW will be conveyed to the future Faure New Water Scheme, which will be built at the Faure WTP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe scheme will use sophisticated technology with a multi-barrier purification process, to purify high-quality treated effluent to meet safe drinking water standards. This will then be blended with dam water and treated again at the existing Faure WTP then distributed for consumption to households and residents through the City\u2019s water supply network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cImplementing this strategy will increase and diversify the City\u2019s drinking water supply by 70 million to 100 million litres per day. This is part of the City\u2019s action plan to help build a resilient water supply that can navigate future climate shocks and drought,\u201d said City\u2019s Mayoral Committee m<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ember for Water and Sanitation, Councillor Zahid Badroodien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For updates, see the City\u2019s Water Outlook report: https:\/\/bit.ly\/4eA6PSb <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"Middle\" id=\"embed_c0228f94\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/12500\/f830b533a3a04fedaae08ca1677d9363.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/districtmailhelderberg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/35bc5e8be7144fd6b9710337d788acf3.jpg\" title=\"City official Christopher Norman leading the delegation on a tour of the Zandvliet WWTW.\"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">City official Christopher Norman leading the delegation on a tour of the Zandvliet WWTW.<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/12500\/b95f9ab19d254288959c12a386dc45dd.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/districtmailhelderberg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/fee0796ee84f434b90b5efa46772b3f8.jpg\" title=\"The recently-upgraded Zandvliet Wastewater Treatment Works makes use of Membrane Bioreactors (MBR) technology.\"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">The recently-upgraded Zandvliet Wastewater Treatment Works makes use of Membrane Bioreactors (MBR) technology.<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The City\u2019s Water and Sanitation Directorate hosted a delegation from several African countries on a tour of the Zandvliet Wastewater Treatment Works (WWTW) and other facilities, such as the Faure Water Treatment Plant (WTP).
