He questioned re-occurring water leaks and aging infrastructure. \u201cThe water pipe structure is very old and requires replacement or upgrading. Constant pipe bursts and water leaks are costing the City of Cape Town money,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDespite logging calls for pipe bursts and leaks, it takes very long for repair teams to address the issue. Leaks re-occur at the same areas and are not truly repaired.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the City\u2019s Water and Sanitation Department, Simon\u2019s Town has seen an increase in burst pipes due to a breach in high and low-pressure zones in central Simon\u2019s Town since October last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-key-areas\">Key areas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In his presentation, Clyve Koen, area engineer from the department, pointed out the key areas the City is focusing on pipe replacement and pipeline re-routes in Fish Hoek, Kommetjie, Simon\u2019s Town and Glencairn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Discussing water issues in Welcome Glen, Koen said action plans to \u201cproactively replace the leadings\u201d in the area through the existing replacement contract in the new financial year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, long-term solutions to water pressure and pipe burst issues include a proposed pipeline replacement in Simon\u2019s Town for the 2024\/2025 financial year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project includes a proposed pipe replacement in Risi\/ Carmichael Street in Fish Hoek, replacements in Golconda and Cocburn Streets, Glencairn, Kommetjie and Simon\u2019s Town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While a preliminary environmental screening for the project was undertaken, a professional service provider needs to be appointed in the new financial year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe construction of a new water pipeline along this route will require Environmental Authorisation,\u201d said Koen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\"

the pipeline crossing an area identified as covered in endangered indigenous vegetation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added if a large amount of endangered indigenous vegetation is removed for the proposed activity, an offsite biodiversity offset and a specialist appointed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Addressing water pressure issues in Kommetjie, Koen addressed plans for a new 110mm diameter pipeline link connection between Mountain Street to Main Road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA new 110mm diameter pipeline link connecting to the 150mm pipeline on the main road and to Mountain Street with the aim to improve the flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cInstallation of the pipeline is to be done as part of our water upgrade programme.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Subcouncil 19 chair Simon Liell-Cock said the main points in the meeting were that residents left with a better understanding of water issues in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe main point, is that people understood more about water issues, especially in Welcome Glen, the difference between a main pipe burst and a leading,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople learnt a lot about the water infrastructure which is important.\u201d
