ProposalDescription: 

Rand Water (hereafter referred to as “RW”) is a South African water utility that supplies potable quality water to the Gauteng province and other areas of the country and is the largest water utility in Africa. Rand Water is proposing an overflow pipeline from the Ekurhuleni reservoir located on Portion 187 Meyersdal, the aforementioned area is approximately 61 000m2 (6.1Ha). The reservoir overflow affects the remainder of Portion 241 on the South as well as Meyersdal Nature Estate Extension 6 (Portion 80). The reservoirs belong to Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality and are supplied by Rand Water from Palmiet Pump Stations.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The Ekurhuleni Metrolpolitan Municipality receives water at its Meyersdal water reservoirs from Rand Water through a pumping main from the Palmiet Pump Station. Meyersdal water reservoirs are approximately 2.6km from the Palmiet Pump Station with the 900mm Nominal Diameter (ND), 8mm thick steel pumping main being 2875.7m long. The maximum pumping rate is 100MLD (1.16 m3/s), feeding two (2) concrete reservoirs of approximately 80ML capacity. Palmiet pump station is located at 1580 amsl while the reservoirs are 1703.90 amsl (TWL). The primary objective of the project is to mitigate the risk of flooding private properties downhill of the Meyersdal reservoirs due to oversupply of pumped water from Rand Water’s Palmiet Pump Station to the Ekurhuleni District Municipality’s Meyersdal Water Reservoirs in Alberton. As a result of mitigating the reservoir overflow, Rand Water will: - Avoid the potential litigations emanating from property owners whose properties get damaged as a result of flooding. - Diverting the overflow water away from the affected properties as well as safely discharging the water without causing erosion and damage to the environment. - Realise an improvement on its brand name as well as improved relationship with their customers.
