Die Kaap van Storms het die afgelope week behoorlik sy naam gestand gedoen toe hewige re\u00ebn, wind en koue die gebied getref het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chaos is in verskeie woonbuurte gesaai toe vloedwaters deur huise gestroom het, dakplate afgewaai is en boomtakke die w\u00eareld vol gel\u00ea het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In die Paarl is 65 mm re\u00ebn sedert Maandag- tot Woensdagoggend gemeet, in Wellington 75 mm en in Franschhoek ongeveer 85 mm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oudergewoonte het die eerste winterstorm chaos oor die vallei veroorsaak. Toe \u2019n swaar re\u00ebnbui Dinsdagoggend oor die vallei uitgesak het, het \u2019n bus vol skoolkinders omstreeks 07:00 langs die Sonstraal-pad, naby Ashante-plaas, omgekantel. Die Paarl-polisiewoordvoerder, kapt. Louise du Plessis, s\u00ea dit was n\u00e1 \u2019n noue ontkoming met \u2019n ligte voertuig wat in die verkeerde baan gery het. \u201cDie bestuurder van die ligte voertuig beweer die pad was in die swaar re\u00ebn nie duidelik sigbaar nie en hy het nie besef dat hy in die aankomende baan beland het nie. Die busbestuurder het probeer om vir die aankomende voertuig uit te swaai en gevolglik van die pad af gery.\u201d Geen leerder is in die voorval beseer nie en almal is van daar af veilig na hul onderskeie skole vervoer. Die bus- sowel as die motorbestuurder het ook geen beserings opgedoen nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Drakenstein-munisipaliteit het altesame 24 noodoproepe Maandagnag in verband met die storm ontvang \u2013 dit het ingesluit sewe voorvalle by eiendomme waar water die huise binnegedring het (ses in die Paarl en een in Wellington). Klagtes is ook uit Mbekweni, Paarl-Oos en Saron ontvang en aangepak. Sandsakke is by alle eiendomme, waar nodig is, gepak om verdere oorstromings te verhoed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marius W\u00fcst, hoof van ingenieurs\u00addienste by die munisipaliteit het ges\u00ea voor die aanbreek van die winter, sedert Maart, het die munisipaliteit se stormwater-afdeling aansienlike voorbereidingswerk vir swaar re\u00ebn gedoen en stormwaterdreine skoongemaak ten einde oorstromings en skade te voorkom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
W\u00fcst s\u00ea dit blyk dat hierdie aksies vrugte afgewerp het en doeltreffend was aangesien slegs \u2019n enkele voorval van oorstroming weer by \u2019n eiendom voorgekom het wat op 21 Maart ook probleme ondervind het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
N\u00e1 swaar neerslae in die grootste gedeelte van die Drakenstein-diensgebied sedert Maandagmiddag het oorstromings egter wel steeds voorgekom, veral waar rommelstrooiing en blare verstoppings veroorsaak het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Verdere voorvalle is aangemeld, wat insluit water wat eiendomme binnedring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die munisipaliteit se stormwater-bystandspanne is steeds besig om verstoppings te verwyder waar dit voorkom, en sandsakke af te lewer waar eiendomme in gedrang was en steeds is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie munisipaliteit ondersteun die eienaars deurlopend om re\u00eblings te tref om hul eiendomme te beskerm. Opruimingswerk word ook deurlopend gedoen met sewe spanne van ons stormwater-afdeling wat inwoners bystaan. Die ondersteuning van elke lid van die gemeenskap word waardeer,\u201d het W\u00fcst afgesluit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
