Party buurte was vir dae lank sonder water en ander buurte se water was so vuil dat inwoners nie hul wasgoed kon was nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die gemeenskap was keelvol en nadat hul klagtes op dowe ore geval het, het hulle hul tot die televisienuus gewend. Onder die gemeenskapswerker Isabel Bailey, het inwoners opgeruk toe die televisiespan Pineview besoek het. Met plakkate in die hand en selfs voorbeelde van hoe die water lyk, het Grabouw daardie aand hoofnuus gehaal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maar wat s\u00ea die Theewaterskloof-munisipaliteit? Tydens \u2019n onderhoud met die burgemeester, Kallie Papier, is die vorige raad kwalik geneem omdat geen onderhoudswerk gedoen word nie. In \u2019n skrywe op TWK se Facebookblad, verduidelik Wilfred Schrevian Evan Solomons-Johannes, die direkteur gemeenskapsdienste van die TWK: \u201cDie watersituasie in Grabouw is vir \u2019n lang tyd reeds onder geweldige druk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOnlangs het die vraag na water die munisipaliteit se vermo\u00eb om te lewer begin oorskry. Bestaande infrastruktuur kan nie aan die bestaande vraag na water voldoen nie. Dit is grootliks weens die dorp se groei en populasietoename. Dringende veranderinge is nodig om watervolhoubaarheid en \u2019n goeie watergehalte te verseker. Weens die huidige situasie en veranderinge word die munisipaliteit verplig om beurtwater in die hele Grabouw te implementeer. Die voorlopige begindatum vir die implementering van beurtwater is op 24 Maart. Daar word tans bereken dat normale watervoorsiening op 2 Mei hervat sal word.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Volgens die inwoners is hulle tog optimisties dat die munisipaliteit aandag aan die probleem gee. \u201cWat my egter bekommer, is dat ons, ons tot die media moet wend voordat ons reaksie kry,\u201d het \u2019n inwoner ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cDie water
