This aims to augment City inventions that are already taking place,\u201d said Zahid Badroodien, Mayoral Committee member for Water and Sanitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCurrently the City spends between R1,5 million to R2,6 million each year on continuous cleaning efforts, but while it visually improves for a short while, this is not sustainable because the illegal dumping continues \u2013 which also doesn\u2019t improve the water quality in the river. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs we work towards putting this multipronged plan into action, we need residents to please join hands with us and put their waste in the right place, using the solid-waste services provided.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-more-about-the-soet-river\"><strong><strong><strong>More about the Soet River <\/strong> <\/strong><\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>The Soet River catchment has a total catchment area of 17,4 km\u00b2, which flows from the north-east in a south-westerly direction, and forms the central \u201cspine\u201d of the Soet River catchment\u2019s drainage network. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The catchment topography is generally flat, with only the upper area contributing sub-catchments to the north of Sir Lowry\u2019s Pass Road, being moderately sloped to steep. The catchment has a variety of land-uses. The upper sub-catchments to the north of Sir Lowry\u2019s Pass Road are generally agricultural, while below the Sir Lowry\u2019s Pass Road, the land-use is predominantly medium to high density residential, with pockets of industrial and commercial development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_655044f2\">\n<div
