A commitment towards better communication between the City of Cape Town and residents of Gordon\u2019s Bay as well as clearer accountability were some of the key outcomes at a public meeting held at Krystal Beach Hotel on Monday night (4 December) to address recent water outages affecting the community over the past month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Residents of Gordon\u2019s Bay expressed frustration and anger with municipal officials, Ward 100 councillor Sean Stacey and Mayoral Committee member for Water and Sanitation Zahid Badroodien during the meeting, which was called to share information on current challenges experienced by the City in relation to a pipe-replacement project taking place in Lancaster Road in the Dobson area of Gordon\u2019s Bay. It has over the past four weeks resulted in a number of challenges that have delayed completion of the project. Many residents of the area were left without a water supply for a total of nine days in November (\u201cWater woes: Taps run dry for several consecutive days\u201d, <\/span>DistrictMail & Helderberg Gazette, 8 November 2023).<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An estimated 100 residents attended the meeting, which was opened by Badroodien after a welcome by Stacey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe know this is a serious situation and this is why we are here today,\u201d the Badroodien said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want to share details of the scope of the project and some of the challenges, and we want to hear complaints so that we can understand, respond and resolve the issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a major project covering 1,3 km of pipes and is costing the City R5,7 million, so please tell us what you\u2019re angry about.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Acting Executive Director of Water and Sanitation at the City of Cape Town, Etienne Hugo, provided a brief background on the project, followed by an in-depth look at some of the issues encountered by the head of planning at the reticulation branch, Anic Smit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have been doing this work for 10 years, and all questions and complaints are well-founded,\u201d Smit said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt does happen that things go wrong, such as corrosion, which has exponentially increased for various reasons. We work on models and attributes to likelihoods of failure for prioritisation of pipe replacement, and all signs point to the urgency of work required in Gordon\u2019s Bay.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the question-and-answer session residents complained of poor communication, insufficient interim solutions, lack of accountability and also questioned the competence of the contractor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are here tonight because we are taking accountability,\u201d said Badroodien, who explained that the contractor will be fined accordingly, should it be found that the work is not being done according to the required standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A resident asked: \u201cWhy is there no engineer on site, why not contract a bigger team to do the work, why not work at night?\u201d The reply was that noise permits are required for night time works and that engineers cannot always be on site, but to this end supervision of works will be improved. \u201cThe elephant in the room is that most people here don\u2019t trust the contractor,\u201d said Badroodien. \u201cWe recognise that is a concern.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was also mention of the \u201cconstruction mafia\u201d and threats to the safety of contractors through means of extortion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe City is working hard to counter these threats and have had recent successes in bringing these culprits before a court of law,\u201d said Badroodien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

City officials shared contact information as well as a dedicated email account to better respond to communication from residents and assured that regular feedback sessions will keep the community informed. Other issues such as the route of water tankers, early notifications of water supply disruptions and contractor supervision will also be addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be advised <\/div>\n
The water supply to Gordon\u2019s Bay will be disrupted today (Wednesday 6 December) and tomorrow (Thursday 7 December) from 09:00 to 18:00 as the project to upgrade the water network continues, and assurances were made that works will be completed before the December holidays and continue again early next year<\/span>. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
