Dredging of Zeekoevlei to start in June

The dredging of Zeekoevlei will commence in June 2025. The project team is making great progress with the preparations

Zeekoevlei is located in the False Bay Nature Reserve, a Ramsar site of international importance for wetlands. The City is also accredited as a Ramsar City. Improving water quality is a key international commitment which is aligned to the Mayoral Priority Programme (MPP): Sanitation and Inland Water Quality MPP.‘A few days ago, I visited Zeekoevlei to see how the contractor was progressing with the preparations for the dredging work. They were busy welding the final sections of the slurry pipe at the site where a long section was already floating on top of the vlei, in the vicinity of Storm Bay, where the first dredging will commence. The access roads to the Cape Flats Waste Water Treatment Plant are ready, and at the dewatering or drying ponds the work is also on track.‘What is so exciting about this project is that the City will, for the first time ever, use a floating suction dredger to dredge organic rich sediment from the vlei bed. Normally, dredging is done by crane from the water’s edge, but given that the two sections to be dredged are located far from the edge, the City will be using a floating pontoon instead.‘I was told that the floating pontoon’s parts will arrive later this week to be assembled, and tested before the dredging itself can commence. If all goes as planned, and inclement weather does not cause any delays, residents and visitors to the reserve will see the dredger doing its job by mid-June, if not sooner,’ said the City’s Deputy Mayor and Mayoral Committee Member for Spatial Planning and Environment, Alderman Eddie Andrews.Two sections of Zeekoevlei will be dredged: first Storm Bay and thereafter the contractor will move to the section known as Home Bay. The dredged material will be pumped with a slurry pipeline from Zeekoevlei to dewatering ponds where the sediment can dry out.‘The last time the City undertook a dredging project was in 1983 when parts of Home Bay were dredged. The current dredging is more extensive and a significant milestone event,’ said Alderman Andrews.Dredging informationTwo sections of Zeekoevlei will be dredged over a period of 26 months, namely Home Bay and Storm Bay The total volume of sediment to be dredged from Home Bay is 157 000m³ and is estimated to take about 14 months The total volume of sediment to be dredged from Storm Bay is 207 000m³ and is estimated to take about 12 months Hydrographic surveys of the dredged area will be conducted every two weeks to measure the progress The dredged sediment will be pumped from Zeekoevlei via a 4,3km long slurry pipeline to ponds for dewatering and storage The slurry pipeline will cross several roads within the area, amongst which Governors Walk and Peninsula Road The supernatant water will be pumped from the dewatering ponds to the Cape Flats WWTWs via a 2,3km long pipeline The contractor will be constructing rubble mound bund walls at the dewatering ponds to assist with the dewatering and drying of the dredged sediment Dewatering sumps will be constructed around the perimeter of the dewatering ponds to assist with the drainage of supernatant water to the Cape Flats WWTWs The contractor also needs to upgrade the access roads within the Cape Flats WWTWs area for the transportation of dredged sediment Over the past decades, there has been a significant build-up of sediment and nutrient rich organics in the Zeekoevlei lakebed that has resulted in algal blooms, which has been impacting the overall health of the vlei and its water quality for recreational users.‘Improving the water quality at Zeekoevlei is one of our top priorities. The dredging will assist in removing pollutants and improving the overall health of this ecosystem. The intention is to dredge and remove as much of the nutrient rich sediment as possible over a period of two years or so,’ said Alderman Andrews.The City will let the public know once the actual dredging has commenced, and how this will impact the recreational activities at and on the vlei. In the meantime, we apologise for the inconvenience and possible disturbance to birders making use of the Strandfontein Birding section while this project is ongoing.The areas where the dredger will be operating will be clearly marked, and the floating slurry pipeline will be sunk below the surface of the vlei once the dredger is operating. The Rondevlei section of the reserve will remain open throughout this project, as well as the Strandfontein section.High resolution photographs are available <a href="https://bit.ly/4dk3tE2">here</a>.

Somerset West sewer blockages spike by 60%

The City of Cape Town’s Water and Sanitation Directorate is urging Somerset West residents to help prevent sewer blockages.

Between July 2024 and March 2025, 280 sewer blockages were reported in Somerset West – significantly more than the 175 logged during the entire previous financial year. A breakdown of the main contributors to the blockages reveals concerning trends: <table width="100%" class="ms-rteTable-default" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td class="ms-rteTable-default" style="width:25%;">Cause</td><td class="ms-rteTable-default" style="width:25%;">2023/2024</td><td class="ms-rteTable-default" style="width:25%;">2024/2025</td><td class="ms-rteTable-default" style="width:25%;">% Increase</td></tr><tr><td class="ms-rteTable-default">Foreign Objects</td><td class="ms-rteTable-default">45</td><td class="ms-rteTable-default">97</td><td class="ms-rteTable-default">116%</td></tr><tr><td class="ms-rteTable-default">Roots</td><td class="ms-rteTable-default">49</td><td class="ms-rteTable-default">68</td><td class="ms-rteTable-default">39%</td></tr><tr><td class="ms-rteTable-default">Sand</td><td class="ms-rteTable-default">14</td><td class="ms-rteTable-default">24</td><td class="ms-rteTable-default">71%</td></tr><tr><td class="ms-rteTable-default">Rags</td><td class="ms-rteTable-default">6</td><td class="ms-rteTable-default">11</td><td class="ms-rteTable-default">83%</td></tr><tr><td class="ms-rteTable-default">Fats</td><td class="ms-rteTable-default">3</td><td class="ms-rteTable-default">13</td><td class="ms-rteTable-default">333%</td></tr></tbody></table> <figure class="subtopic-fullsize-img"> <img class="responsive" src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Images%202/Somerset%20West%20sewer%20blockages%201.jpeg" alt="" style="width:1069px;" /> </figure> <ul style="margin-top:0cm;"> <li style="margin:0cm;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;">Blockages caused by foreign items (including building material, sanitary products, and even nappies), have more than doubled.</li> <li style="margin:0cm;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;">Sand and tree roots found in the sewer system are significantly higher; while blockages due to fats, oils and grease have increased more than fourfold.</li> <li style="margin:0cm;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;">The Westridge area accounts for 26% of the 280 sewer blockages logged in Somerset West.

Blockages result in sewer overflows on to our streets or in the environment, compromising hygiene and living conditions for communities, especially during winter. ‘While these numbers for Somerset West may seem like just statistics, each blockage poses health and environmental risks which can be mitigated by a change in habits and awareness of how to responsibly dispose of waste,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Water and Sanitation, Councillor Zahid Badroodien. <figure class="subtopic-fullsize-img"> <img class="responsive" src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Images%202/Somerset%20West%20sewer%20blockages%20%202.jpeg" alt="" style="width:1069px;" /> </figure> What you can do to help prevent sewer blockages: <ul style="margin-top:0cm;"> <li style="margin:0cm;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;">Dispose of waste responsibly: Only flush toilet paper and human waste (pee and poo). Other items, like wipes, diapers and sanitary products, should be discarded in bins.</li> <li style="margin:0cm;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;">Don’t pour fats, oils and grease down drains: Fats, oils, and grease harden in pipes, causing blockages. Rather let these cool and dispose of them in the bin.</li> <li style="margin:0cm;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;">Use sinks correctly: Food scraps and other waste do not belong in the sink. Dispose of food waste in a bin to keep your drains clear.</li> </ul> During winter, increased rainfall typically leads to higher volumes of stormwater entering the sewer network, especially in areas where illegal stormwater connections exist or infrastructure is vulnerable. This can overload the system and worsen the impact of blockages, leading to more frequent overflows into public spaces and natural water sources. ‘Proactive action by residents, supported by the City, is essential to help reduce the risks ahead of the rainy season and to protect the health and safety of our communities,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Water and Sanitation, Councillor Zahid Badroodien.

City celebrates its 650-strong nursing workforce this International Nurses Day

The theme this year highlights the importance of investing in nurses' well-being and recognising their contribution to global health and economic stability.

City Health employs nearly 650 nursing staff members, aged between 24 and 64 – nearly 50 of whom are male. They hold various qualifications, ranging from Enrolled Nursing Assistants to Clinical Nurse Practitioners who are able to perform tasks that are typically done by physicians, including diagnosing, treating, and managing illnesses. 'Nurses are the lifeblood of our primary healthcare service. They are the quiet strength behind every immunisation campaign, chronic club, wellness outreach, and emergency intervention. Their presence means continuity, trust, and unwavering care, often in the most challenging circumstances,' said Mayoral Committee Member for Community Services and Health, Councillor Francine Higham. <figure class="subtopic-fullsize-img"><img class="responsive" src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Images%202/Intl.%20Nurses%20Day%202_Chapel%20Street%202025.jpeg" alt="" style="width:1069px;" /></figure>In 2025, the <a href="https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https://www.icn.ch/how-we-do-it/campaigns/international-nurses-day&data=05%7c02%7cJanine.Willemans%40capetown.gov.za%7ca1d53de04ee14cf5f85408dd904ecde4%7cff731495b3c844b393f86fca8fc5a699%7c0%7c0%7c638825390350054282%7cUnknown%7cTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7c0%7c%7c%7c&sdata=8Qikxn1YuJj45zl9P/KcWP%2BwlrPP/AkIWzEhjKqXxFs%3D&reserved=0">International Council of Nurses is </a>highlighting the importance of investing in nurses' well-being and recognising their contribution to global health and economic stability.<div> Nurses account for more than 80% of the workforce in the primary healthcare space. City Health provides support for career advancement through bursaries and financial assistance for further studies, leadership and management training. Staff also have access to the City's Employee Assistance Programme which offers confidential psychosocial support, as well as integrated wellness support focusing specifically on mental health. Their output bears testament to the load that nurses carry. In Cape Town, more than 230 000 residents are receiving life-saving anti-retroviral treatment, with nearly 99% receiving their treatment at a primary health care facility. In 2024, City Health saw an increase of 61% in the number of TB tests, as staff championed the implementation of Targeted Universal Testing for TB (TUTT). And, in the 2023/24 financial year, City clinics screened nearly 179 000 clients for diabetes, and more than 600 000 for hypertension – two of the most common and potentially deadly lifestyle diseases. 'To our nurses … your work is not just a job, it's a calling. You are the hope in our communities, the strength in our teams, and the reason many of our clients return with a smile. Thank you for choosing to serve, to lead, and to care. You are not just the frontline, you are the lifeline. To our clients, help us celebrate these amazing individuals by adhering to treatment regimens and staying true to the health advice that is so critical to mitigating your risk of disease,' added Councillor Higham. </div>
