E. coli en koliforme bakterie\u00eb is onlangs in die drinkwater van Calitzdorp in Kannaland en Matjiesfontein in Laingsburg opgespoor.<\/p>\n
In antwoord op \u2019n skriftelike vraag van die DA het die Wes-Kaapse departement van plaaslike regering hierdie skok-inligting onthul.<\/p>\n
Volgens die Blue Drop Watch-verslag vir drinkwater, wat in Junie deur die Nasionale Departement van Water en Sanitasie gepubliseer is, het die mikrobiologiese nakoming van drinkwater in die Kannaland-munisipaliteit \u2019n \u2018slegte status\u2019 gekry, met 92,31%, terwyl die Laingsburg-munisipaliteit se drinkwater se mikrobiologiese voldoening as \u2018swak\u2019 gegradeer is, met \u2019n telling van 95,65%.<\/p>\n
Die swak gehalte van drinkwater in die ICOSA\/KIP-geleide Kannaland-munisipaliteit kan toegeskryf word aan verskeie faktore, insluitend \u2019n gebrek aan tegniese kapasiteit, met kritieke direkteur en waterbeheerder poste wat vakant bly, onvoldoende proaktiewe instandhouding, en \u2019n tekort aan noodsaaklike chemikalie\u00eb vir water behandeling, het Isaac Sileku, Wes-Kaapse woordvoerder oor plaaslike regering, ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n
Ander potensi\u00eble bydraende faktore sluit in rioolafvoer, pypleidingherstelwerk en onvoldoende waterbehandeling.<\/p>\n
\u201cNet so kan die swak gehalte van drinkwater in die PA\/ANC-geleide Laingsburg-munisipaliteit waarskynlik toegeskryf word aan besoedeling van boorgate, rioolafvoer, pyplynherstelwerk en onvoldoende waterbehandeling,\u201d het Sileku ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n
In reaksie op hierdie kommerwekkende bevindings het die Wes-Kaapse departement van plaaslike regering stappe gedoen om die situasie namens hierdie munisipaliteite aan te spreek.<\/p>\n
Kannaland-munisipaliteit is van toets-stelle voorsien, en die munisipaliteit is in die proses om die nodige chemikalie\u00eb vir waterbehandeling aan te skaf. <\/p>\n
\u201cKannaland het \u2019n geskiedenis van waterbestuursuitdagings, en die departement van plaaslike regering het by verskeie geleenthede ingegryp om die munisipaliteit by te staan om kwessies wat verband hou met infrastruktuur en dienslewering aan te spreek, soos waterdienste ontwikkelingsplanne en ondersteuningsplanne in 2017 en 2023.<\/p>\n
Laingsburg-munisipaliteit het proaktiewe maatre\u00ebls getref, insluitend die skoonmaak van die reservoir in Matjiesfontein, rotasie van monsternemingspunte, en die voer van openbare bewusmakingsveldtogte wanneer watergehaltetoetse \u2019n afname in kwaliteit aandui. <\/p>\n
Moniteringsplanne is deur die distriks-munisipale-gesondheidsdienste ge\u00efmplementeer, kompleet met kosteberamings, om deurlopende monitering van drinkwater te verseker.<\/p>\n
\u201cDie verswakkende toestand van dienslewering in die munisipaliteite van Kannaland en Laingsburg het \u2019n kritieke vlak bereik, wat ernstige kommer oor die welstand en gesondheid van die plaaslike inwoners wek,\u201d het Sileku gese. \u201cDie situasie het versleg tot \u2019n mate waar dit nie langer geduld kan word nie, en dit is noodsaaklik dat diegene in leiersposisies binne Kannaland en Laingsburg verantwoordelik gehou word vir die haglike toedrag van sake.<\/p>\n
\u201cBasiese dienste, wat fundamenteel is tot die kwaliteit van lewe en die veiligheid van die gemeenskap, het al hoe meer onbetroubaar geword, indien nie heeltemal onbestaande nie.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2022 Escherichia coli of E. coli is \u2019n tipe fekale koliforme bakterie\u00eb wat algemeen in die ingewande van diere en mense voorkom. E. coli in water is \u2019n sterk aanduiding van riool- of diere-afval-besoedeling. Riool en diere-afval kan baie soorte organismes bevat wat siektes veroorsaak.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
