Second phase of sewer rising main augmentation project to commence soon

Jeffreys Bay – Funded through the Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG), the second phase of the sewer rising main augmentation project has been registered to the total project value of R37.4 million – with construction to commence within the next two years.

The first phase, successfully completed using internal funding, introduced a robust 350mm diameter Class 12 uPVC sewer rising main. This main links the La Mer Pump Station to Pump Station 4A, which will eventually integrate with Pump Station 4B, before reaching the Jeffreys Bay WWTW.

This second phase will establish a connection between the Sewer Pump Station 4A and the Jeffreys Bay Waste Water Treatment Works (WWTW). This phase is still in the design stage and the Environmental Authorization has been obtained.

Kouga Local Municipality Executive Mayor, Hattingh Bornman, said that this vital upgrade will significantly improve operational efficiency and enhance the quality of life for residents.

“It will, furthermore, enhance reliability and strengthen the foundation for future growth.”
