Stellenbosse lede van die burgerregte-organisasie AfriForum het die plaaslike rioolsuiweringswerke onlangs saam met beamptes van die Stellenbosch-munisipaliteit en die departement van water en sanitasie (DWS) besoek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die gesamentlike besoek op Maandag 9 Desember het gevolg nadat AfriForum vir \u2019n jaar gepoog het om inligting oor die stand van sake by die waterwerke van die munisipaliteit te kry. Twee Paia-aansoeke is ook deur AfriForum ingedien om spesifieke inligting te bekom omdat inwoners gekla het oor die watergehalte in die munisipale gebied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Al drie partye het in November vergader, waar die departement versoek het dat \u2019n besoek gebring en monsters geneem word (\u201cGroenlig vir toetsing\u201d, Eikestadnuus<\/em>, 28 November 2024).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verlede Woensdag (12 Desember) het die plaaslike tak ges\u00ea op die vergadering tussen verteenwoordigers van die munisipaliteit, die departement, bestuurders van die rioolwerke en verteenwoordigers van die Raad vir Wetenskaplike en Nywerheidsnavorsing (WNNR), is vele haakplekke bespreek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOp die vergadering is verduidelik watter stappe geneem is om die uitdagings van die vorige 18 maande met betrekking tot die doeltreffendheid van die rioolsuiweringsaanleg aan te pak en hoe dinge in die toekoms bestuur gaan word. AfriForum het ook as deel van die meer deursigtige verhouding in die toekoms aangebied om opleiding aan te bied waar nodig,\u201d lui \u2019n verklaring van die Stellenbosch-tak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AfriForum het verlede November private waterge\u00adhaltetoetse laat doen n\u00e1 gerugte van die storting van ongesuiwerde rioolwater in die riviere. Di\u00e9 watermonsters het glo op gevaarlike vlakke van rioolbesoedeling in die Plankenbrug-, Veldwagters- en Eersterivier gedui. Die organisasie s\u00ea nou hy is tevrede met die vordering wat gemaak is sedert die bekommernisse oor die swak watergehalte aangemeld is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Van die verbeterings was die vervanging van \u2019n verouderde mangat in Desember 2023. Volgens die munisipaliteit was dit nie onverwerkte riool wat in die rivier gevloei het nie, maar dit was eerder \u2019n \u201cverkeerde interpretasie\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nuwe kontrakteurs is aangestel om die rioolwerke te bestuur volgens AfriForum, maar die munisipaliteit het verduidelik die aanleg bly onder munisipale bestuur, met ondersteuning van \u2019n diensverskaffer wat tydelik ingebring is om vakatures te vul en spesialiskundigheid te verskaf, soos di\u00e9 van Klas V-prosesbeheerders, wat skaars is in Suid-Afrika, het Stuart Grobbelaar, munisipale woordvoerder, by navraag verduidelik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grobbelaar meen die onlangse besoek het die \u201cuitstekende bedryfstatus\u201d van die aanleg bevestig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGeen probleme of uitdagings is ge\u00efdentifiseer nie. Die aanleg werk optimaal, wat ondersteun word met gereelde instandhouding, en die verligting van beurtkrag verseker verder ononderbroke bedrywighede,\u201d het hy ges\u00ea. Volgens die Stellenbosch-munisipaliteit erken AfriForum die aanleg as \u2019n simbool van bedryfsuitnemendheid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jacques Benade, AfriForum se distriksko\u00f6rdineerder vir die Boland, s\u00ea die organisasie verskuif sy fokus na ander rioolwerke om te verseker dat gehalte gehandhaaf word. AfriForum het by drie punte watermonsters geneem, wat na \u2019n onafhanklike laboratorium vir ontleding gestuur sal word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die monsters is stroomop van die uitvloei van die waterwerke, by die uitvloei self en stroomaf in die rivier geneem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die ander betrokkenes het hul eie monsters geneem vir toetsing en het ooreengekom om volgende jaar weer te vergader en die uitslae te bespreek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens die munisipaliteit erken AfriForum die aanlag as \u2019n simbool van bedryfsuitnemendheid. Die plan is glo om die sukses van die Eikestad se aanleg as \u2019n model te gebruik vir die ontwikkeling van \u2019n metodologie om ander munisipaliteite wat met afvalwaterbestuur sukkel, by te staan. \u201cSedert die opknapping in 2017 het die aanleg bestendig uitsonderlike resultate gelewer. Die gehalte van behandelde afvalwater word onafhanklik deur beide die munisipaliteit en die WNNR getoets, en voldoen aan en oortref die standaarde soos in nasionale waterwetgewing uiteengesit is,\u201d s\u00ea Grobbelaar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
