In a concerted effort to safeguard water resources and fortify conservation endeavours, Kouga Municipality is currently undertaking the restoration of the Paradise Beach Water Tower, at a cost of almost R9.7 million.
This project encompasses not only repairing the tower, but also involves replacing outdated pipelines and installing a new perimeter fence.
It is estimated the work, that commenced in October 2023, will be completed in May next year.
“By repairing the tower, we can ensure better water management and decrease the risk of wastage due to leaks or inefficiencies.
“This undertaking stands as a testament to the municipality’s commitment to sustainable practices and responsible resource management, ensuring that the tap never runs dry for our residents,” Bornman added.
Bornman further said water is the lifeblood of Kouga, and requires diligent care and attention, especially in the face of environmental challenges and growing water scarcity concerns.
“The municipality urges residents to continue to use water sparingly and implement practices that contribute to the preservation of this invaluable resource,” the mayor concluded.
