More About This Project
Seven local municipalities in North West and Limpopo provinces (Moretele, Bela-Bela, Modimolle-Mookgophong, Mogalakwena, Rustenburg, Mose Kotane, and Thabazimbi) are severely affected by water shortages with the water demand currently outstripping the supply by more than 1.6 times.
The proposed Magalies Bulk Water Supply Scheme Project (the “Project”) is a critical response to address the above challenge. By extending pipeline networks, enhancing the capacity of existing pipelines, and expanding water treatment facilities, the Project will ensure reliable and sustainable access to drinking water, bridge the supply gap and cater for future demand growth.
The Project comprises the following key components:
- Component 1 – Moretele North Klipvoor Bulk Water Supply Scheme: installation of water supply facilities, including Klipvoor Water Treatment Plant (“WTP”) and ground water development, construction of bulk water pipelines, construction of water storage facilities.
- Component 2 – Pilanesberg Bulk Water Supply Scheme (Phase 2): construction of new bulk water pipelines, replacement of the existing bulk water pipelines, construction of water storage facilities, increase of capacity of Vaalkop WTP.
The Project’s impact will be enhancing access to clean and reliable water for households of Limpopo and North West Provinces, in line with the key objectives of the National Development Plan and the National Water and Sanitation Master Plan.
