ProposalDescription: 

Lebalelo Water User Association (LWUA) is proposing upgrades at its Clapham Dam located near Burgersfort, Limpopo Province. The proposed upgrades at LWUA’s Clapham Storage Dam is required as several developments have taken place around the dam and LWUA wishes to take precautionary measures should the dam overflow. The purpose of the upgrades will ensure that if the dam overflows, water is handled in a controlled and safe manner to prevent damage to private property and ensure the safety of human lives.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The LWUA was established to supply raw water to mines along the Eastern Limb of the Bushveld Igneous Complex. The main aim of the project was to supply raw water to a number of existing and planned new mines in the area, and as a spin-off, to provide additional capacity in the water supply scheme to meet the requirements of the rural population in the area. Only raw water is provided by LWUA, and the responsibility of treatment to drinking water standards lies with the distributing authority. The water is abstracted from the Olifants River via the Flag Boshielo Dam and abstracted at the Havercroft weir. The users receiving the water from the pipeline make up the LWUA. The Lebalelo water supply forms part of the Olifants River Water Resource Development Project (ORWRDP). The water is currently sourced from the Olifants River via the Flag Boshielo Dam, with abstraction at the Havercroft weir, and in future will be from the Steelpoort River via De Hoop Dam. The upgrades at Clapham Dam involves the following: • New overflow structure (at Clapham Storage Dam); • Inlet Structure (at Clapham Storage Dam); • Repair of the damaged Clapham Storage Dam embankment undermined by rodents; • Extension of scour outlet pipes along the bulk raw water pipelines in the vicinity of the Clapham Storage Dam to prevent damage to private properties when pipelines have to be scoured for maintenance purposes; • Outlet pipeline to be constructed along the existing LWUA pipeline; • Manholes located along the outlet pipeline route (7 manholes); • Outlet structure in close vicinity of the Matadi River; • Channel from the outlet structure to the Matadi River; • Erosion protection of the riverbank at proposed outlet (approximately 70m long); • Extension of concrete encasing around the existing LWUA pipeline and repair of damaged corrosion protection of the pipeline crossing the Matadi River; and • Erosion protection of the pipeline crossing the Matadi River. The outlet pipeline will be constructed within the servitude of the existing LWUA pipeline supplying water to Marula Mine.
