Several complaints are received regarding replacement of half round channels with a formal storm water pipe system and detention facilities.
There are approximately 43 00m of round channels in the area. The budget would amount to +- R1 200 per metre.
The feedback from the Roads and Storm water department is:
1. Such a project will need a storm water modelling of the area and the relevant design to the accompany the modelling.
2. The replacement of the kerbs is calculated at +- 41km of roads with half-round channels both sides and +- 2km of road with half round channel on one side.
3. Estimated value of Construction project is approximately R52 million.
4. Estimated value of Preliminary - and Detail Design is
approximately R2,5 million.
The above figures are based on a cost estimation exercise that was done in the past, and the costs, could therefore be subject to change (increased amount).
Resolved unanimously by Subcouncil 2 that the motion by Cllr B Hansen
CARRIED:
That the CSRM department concludes the appointment of the consultants responsible for the Modelling Report;
That a design of a replacement stormwater system immediately follows the Modelling Report;
That the costing for the whole area be provided per suburb;
That the replacement of the round channels be placed on the District Budget for when budget comes available;
That this matter be placed on the IDP and funding be sourced as a priority.
