The pump the City had placed there to help divert some of this sewage to the sewer system was inextricably removed some weeks ago and never brought back, allowing the sewage to once again contaminate the wetland. This is simply inexcusable,\u201d a post reads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_b684767d\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/11070\/ad98f050a8b648cf8853488d46146c02.jpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/e6115829eaf042c18e6372e422b7a34d.jpeg\" title=\"The 610m-long rising main connected to the mobile pump station which has been installed as an interim measure to manage leaks.\"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">The 610m-long rising main connected to the mobile pump station which has been installed as an interim measure to manage leaks.<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-restoration\">Restoration<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The City says despite their strides in restoring the Milnerton Lagoon, pollution has persisted due to a string of unanticipated incidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Significant sand intrusion has been caused mainly by the 12 collapses on the 900mm diameter fibre cement pipeline in Montague Gardens, the City says. This is mainly due to ageing infrastructure, which is approximately 50 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another cause for system failures is high sewage flows, putting pressure on the entire sewer system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAdditional complexities are presented when the need for repairs arises. Due to the depth of the pipeline excavation, typically measures 5m below the surface. The R470 million Milnerton Bulk Sewer Improvement Project has been instrumental in earmarking the area\u2019s deteriorating sewage infrastructure for phased replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The City says long-term improvements to Koeberg Pump Station will cost R118 million. A sand trap and screening facility will be installed and completed first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe goal is to finish this project in 2025. Furthermore, from 2026 to 2028, Koeberg Pump Station will be re-constructed to increase overall capacity,\u201d says the City\u2019s Mayco member for water and sanitation, Zahid Badroodien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_199aeacc\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/11070\/2a752d76ef2e4d679394d125d0b25d41.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/39723c33f8924b25b41e807d49149472.jpg\" title=\"City workers at the Koeberg Pump Station.\"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">City workers at the Koeberg Pump Station.<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-interim-measures\">Interim measures<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As an interim measure, various interventions are in place to manage overflows during peak times including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A diesel-operated mobile pump was installed to alleviate pressure. When necessary, the pump acts as a backup, turned on to manage sewage overflows. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Completed installation of a 610m-long rising main connected to the mobile pump. This helps to channel excess flow directly from Koeberg Pump Station to Potsdam, reducing the amount of effluent that Koeberg\u2019s four pumps have to process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The City has ordered four pump impellers which will reduce redundancy. Four new pumps for Koeberg Pump Station and two for Racecourse Pump Station are due for delivery in May 2024. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The City says the following measures will also help:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Montague Bulk Sewer line repairs, which are complete.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Water and Sanitation is in the process of relooking the design of the berm, to make it more effective in containing spills from the pump station. Progress will be communicated as the matter progresses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhile every effort is made to upgrade infrastructure and find solutions to the challenges presented, the City is
