ProposalDescription: 

Proposed weir and water pipeline to an existing water treatment works, Umzumbe and Hibiscus Coast Local Municipalities, KZN

Expanded_Motivation: 

Umgeni Water (UW) is currently implementing Phase 1 of the Mhlabatshane BWSS as part of a larger Regional Scheme development by Ugu District Municipality (OM). This scheme is aimed at reducing water service backlogs in certain rural areas in the Umzumbe and Hibiscus Coast Local Municipalities. The first phase included the construction of the Mhlabashane dam, raw and potable water pipelines, a water treatment works and reservoirs. To date, the construction of the dam bulk pipelines has been completed while that of the water treatment works and reservoirs are in progress. Phase 2 of the Mhlabatshane BWSS is currently being investigated by the Planning Services Department for implementation to meet the future demand requirements of the area. The second phase of the project comprises a proposed weir and pipeline from the Mzimkhulu River to the water treatment plant. Water will be abstracted directly from the Umzimkulu River, pumped to the existing Water Treatment Works (which will need to be upgraded) and then fed into the reticulation system via an existing command reservoir. The construction of the Mhlabatshane Dam has been designed to supply a maximum of 4Mllday and a further 8MI/day can be augmented from the Umzimkulu River. Raw water from the Umzimkulu River along with the 4Mlld from the Mhlabatshane Dam will be treated at the existing water treatment works currently 4Ml/d, to be upgraded to 8Ml/d. The following infrastructure is envisaged for the Mhlabatshane Phase 2 Project:  A River abstraction works and weir on the Mzimkhulu River  A pipeline to a sand trap  A desilting mechanism  A pressurised pipeline to the WTW  A high lift pump station  Storage at the WTW  Upgrading of the WTW from 4MI/d to 8MI/d
