Municipal Infrastructure

ProposalDescription:

eThembeni Cultural Heritage was appointed by GIBB (Pty) GIBB Ltd. to undertake a heritage impact assessment of the proposed Mhlanga Water Reticulation Project, in terms of the National Heritage Resources Act No 25 of 1999. The proposed development aims to provide water services infrastructure for the Cluster 1 communities which fall under two local municipalities of the Chris Hani District Municipality, Eastern Cape Province.

Expanded_Motivation:

The proposed water reticulation and associated supply reservoirs are proposed for the villages in the Mhlanga-Mgwalana area, located between the towns of Dordrecht and Indwe in the Eastern Cape. The proposed water infrastructure includes the following: - Construction of two 250 kR, and two 500 kR reinforced Concrete Reservoirs; - Village reticulation pipework of approximate total length of 55.5 km with varying diameters of 160 mm to 50 mm; and - Approximately 100 standpipes. The 250 kR Reservoirs will be situated at Bongweni village at a height of 1390 m above MSL and at Nyoka village at a height of 1551 m above MSL. The 500 kR Reservoirs will be situated at Zwelitsha village at a height of 1569 m above MSL and at Nxomfu village at a height of 1763 m above MSL. A network of pipes of 50 mm and 63mm diameter HDPE, 75mm, 110 mm and 160 mm diameter mPVC pipes will provide the required internal reticulation for the twelve villages and will be fed from the four reservoirs. The total length of pipeline required for the network is approximately 55 km. The reticulation pipelines will all be gravity supply with break pressure tanks located accordingly so that pressures will be limited. Approximately 100 standpipes have been provided for the Mhlanga-Mgwalana areas. Standpipes are based on the layout and population of the respective villages and providing a standpipe such that the residents would not have to travel more than 200 meters from their homes.
