Yet another afternoon water-interruption was announced for residents of Kimberley on Wednesday, 25 October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis water-interruption is carried out to avoid a total shutdown of water supply to residents,\u201d said the municipal manager of the Sol Plaatje Municipality, Thapelo Matlala, in a press release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The municipality said the interruption is scheduled for 13:00 to 16:00 starting this afternoon, over and above the nightly interruptions because of low levels at the Newton Reservoir in Kimberley.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This morning, many residents of Kimberley experienced low water pressure, or had no water at all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ever since the previous unexpected water shutdown on Saturday, 14 October, low water pressure was the norm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Matlala, the municipality had major success the previous week with storage of water at the Newton Reservoir after fixing the siphon, changing chemicals, and revitalising the filter medium at the Riverton Water Treatment Works (WTW).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This improved the levels at the reservoir, and the biggest reservoir (102 megalitres) at Newton reached 14 feet (79%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The water levels for this reservoir for the last week are as follow:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thursday, 19 October: 10 feet<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday, 20 October: 12,20 feet<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday, 21 October: 12,10 feet<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday, 22 October: 13,70 feet<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monday, 23 October: 14,20 feet<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday, 24 October: 11,11 feet<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wednesday, 25 October: 9,40 feet<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matlala stated the sudden drop in levels are a result of two filter pumps undergoing repairs, leaving only one pump in operation at the old Riverton WTW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The WTW have six filter tanks that require at least two pumps to fully operate. However, with one pump in operation, only four filters can be filled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRepairs in one of the pumps will be completed in the afternoon of Wednesday, 25 October, and all six filter tanks will be in operation, adding more capacity of treated water,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under normal operation, Riverton WTW should be pumping at least 913 litres and 600 litres per second to the 900 mm and 600 mm diameter pipe respectively with three pressure booster pumps for at least 20 hours a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, due to repairs on the filter pumps only two pressure booster pumps are in operation, affecting the pumping of water to the Newton Reservoir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Working tirelessly\u2019<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Matlala said the municipality is working tirelessly to provide uninterrupted and reliable water to the residents of the Sol Plaatje Municipality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this to happen without hitches, the municipality appeal to residents and members of the public to stop watering their gardens and reserve water for consumption only. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will ensure that water pumped into the reservoirs will help to reach the required levels that generate enough pressure to supply all areas in Kimberley town. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The community is encouraged to adopt water-conserving habits even during periods of normal supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the water interruption, schools, clinics, and hospitals that do not have water storage will be provided water through the water tank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warning of more water shutdowns<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Late last week Kimberley residents and business owners were once again urged to prepare for more water shutdowns, without any warning, \u201cbefore the end of November\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This follows yet another water shutdown in the Northern Cape capi\u00adtal. The water was shut off on Satur\u00adday, 14 October, at about 10:00, and most areas only had water again on the morning of Tuesday, 17 October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut it was off early, and on Wednesday, 18 October, there was no water available,\u201d stated Dudley Dally, president of the Northern Cape Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Nocci). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said there were no straight\u00adforward answers on this from the Sol Plaatje Municipality, \u201cwith ratepayers being kept in the dark\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reasons provided by the municipali\u00adty vary from a high demand of water due to the heat wave to faulty valves, exhausted filter sand at the Riverton Water Purification Plant (WPP), a shortage of chemicals to purify water, only two of the high-lift pumps being in use, challenges with a transformer, and main pipelines experiencing more leaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dally said there were still 25 major leaks on the 600 mm and 965 mm pipelines that needed to be repaired, with the major leaks on the 600 mm pipeline still draining into Kamfersdam, with sewage overflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2013 a contractor who was fixing leaks on this line strongly recommend\u00aded that this length of pipe be replaced urgently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is the pipe that is being repaired every year,\u201d Dally said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, at the Newton reservoirs there are only two pumps in operation, with the other four \u201cnowhere to be found\u201d, and with the remaining pumps leaking, \u201cit is a disaster waiting to happen\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The municipality received a R2,5 billion grant from the National Treasury for the complete repairing and upgrading of the water supply system to Kimberley. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first shutdown had to be executed for the municipality to receive the first R500 million for the repairs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of this, there are still plenty of projects to be completed, such as the installation of flow meters along the pipelines, and the repairing of leaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a press release, Kobus van den Berg of the VF Plus stated the munici\u00adpality admitted at the launch of an engineering report on 19 October that the Riverton WPP \u2013 built around the 1960s \u2013 cannot keep up with the water demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cResidents must make plans to store water for drinking, and to use water sparingly; another example where civilians have to step in where govern\u00adment institutions failed,\u201d Van den Berg said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

It has a long-standing history of serving the community with news and information pertinent to the region. The newspaper, distributed in the capital and more than 20 towns, is also read online in other parts of the vast province, and has been an important source of information for residents of the Northern Cape. The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province. Like the other regional newspapers in South Africa, NoordkaapBulletin has had to adapt to changing media landscapes, including the rise of digital news platforms. However, it remains a significant part of the media landscape in the Northern Cape, helping to keep communities informed and
