♦ Rûensveld East Rising Main Upgrade

The Rûensveld East rising main upgrade will include the replacement of the existing rising main, so that a new 300 mm diameter rising main be constructed which will deliver 4.6 Ml/d, at design flow of 65 l/s with 20 hours pumping per day. The new 300 mm diameter rising main will deliver 5.6 Ml/d, at design flow of 65 l/s with 24 hours pumping per day.

The installation of this rising main is pivotal as the existing pipeline has reached its useful life and has deteriorated rapidly due to the corrosive nature of the groundwater. The tender for this project will be advertised as soon as Overberg Water has secured the funding for the project.

♦ Rûensveld West WTW Upgrade

The scope of project will include the upgrading of the 9.5Ml/d water treatment works to meet the additional design capacity of 20Ml/d required by the Overstrand Pipeline to the Greater Hermanus area. This project is reliant on funding and the approval of the abstraction license by the Department of Water and Sanitation. Once all the above-mentioned items have been fulfilled, the project team will be appointed, detail design and the construction to commence.

♦ Duivenhoks WTW Upgrade
