The maintenance started in September and is costing an estimated R6 million. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of the Mayor\u2019s Priority Programme (MPP), the Water and Sanitation Directorate has expanded its Pipe Replacement Programme, setting aside a total of R323 million for infrastructure maintenance of both sewer and water pipes in the current financial year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among other areas, Kewtown will benefit from this investment with the rehabilitation of approximately 2 330 metres of sewer pipeline along key routes, including Jan Smuts Avenue, Springbok Street, Greinhout Street, Eland Street, Protea Street, Brandon Road, Dr Abdurahman Avenue, Poncho Street and Papaya Street. The work being undertaken focuses on replacing 150 mm and 225 mm diameter pipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trenchless rehabilitation method being used for this project is cured-in-place piping (CIPP). The near 35-year-old sewer pipe is relined with a textile tube coated in resin, which hardens after it has been inserted into an existing pipe. The process is jointless and seamless, proven to be one of the most effective and widely used for rehabilitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"InfoBlock\" data-pos=\"Middle\" id=\"embed_c95aea72\">\n<div class=\"heading\">Residents are urged to follow these guidelines:<\/div>\n<div class=\"text\">\n<ul>\n<li>Don\u2019t flush anything other than human waste and toilet paper.
