ProposalDescription:

The proposed Ofudu to Inwabi steel gravity main entails of the construction of a 9 km Welded Steel Gravity Main in Ethekwini, KwaZulu Natal. It will contain no off-takes as it is intended on increasing the water capacity at Inwabi Reservoir. The pipe diameter is 300 mm and more than 300 m^2 of vegetation will be cleared to make way for the proposed pipeline. The majority of the pipeline will fall within the road reserve and a DOT approval has been granted.

Expanded_Motivation:

Water is an important resource for human beings and poses a significant developmental issue in South Africa. The area of Zwelibomvu has portable water supply. However, the reticulation does not allow water to reach the lower lying Inwabi reservoir so that it may supply water to the lower communities. Therefore, the steel gravity main will not include any off-takes as its mandate is to ensure adequate water supply in the Inwabi reservoir so that the lower communities are able to access water like the rest of the community that does. Therefore, the proposed project aims to address the water scarcities in lower communities through the construction of a Steel gravity main within the road reserve; which will not contain any off-takes as the pipe is intended to increase the water capacity in the Inwabi Reservoir. The proposed project aims to expand the service delivery mission delegated to the Ethekwini Metropolitan for the communities within the jurisdiction.
