Fines issued for littering and dumping on the rise this spring

The City of Cape Town is pleased to report that the number of fines issued for illegal dumping and littering is currently on an upward trend due to good work by the UWM By-law Enforcement Unit.

<p></p><span><p>The City of Cape Town is pleased to report that the number of fines issued for illegal dumping and littering is currently on an upward trend due to good work by the UWM By-law Enforcement Unit.</p><p> </p><p>For the previous three months, a total of 580 fines have been issued for illegal dumping, with a total value of R1 615 100 and 353 fines have been issued for littering, with a total value of R176 000. </p><p> </p><p>For the 2022/23 financial year, the City reported a total of 1 723 fines for littering and dumping – an average of approximately 144 fines per month.

Updated planned water supply maintenance for 4 to 6 October 2023

The City’s Water and Sanitation Directorate will be doing planned work in the identified areas, which will result in water supply disruptions.

<p></p><p>This work will result in water supply disruptions to these areas:</p><p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Zero-</strong></span><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>pressure tests (ZPT) and conditional assessments</strong></span></p><ol><li><strong>Claremont, Newlands and Rondebosch</strong><br><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong> </strong></span>Step-testing will be done on the water supply network in these areas <strong>from 21:00 on Wednesday, 4 October 2023, overnight until 04:00 on Thursday, 5 October 2023,</strong> and again <strong>from 21:00 on Thursday, 5 October 2023, overnight until 04:00 on Friday, 6 October 2023. </strong>This will<strong> </strong>enable the maintenance team to do conditional assessments on the water supply into the area. <br><br><strong> </strong><br><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Pressure management installations and operations</strong></span><br> <br><br>Zero-pressure testing and step-testing are part of the installation process for pressure management technology. Tests are done in advance to see if any unmapped inflows need to be considered before installing smart pressure-reducing valves. <br><br> <br>In these affected areas, some residents may experience low water pressure, and some may have no water coming out of their taps for some time during this overnight testing period. It is not possible to predict which areas or streets will experience disruptions. <br><strong> </strong><br><br>Conditional testing on the other hand ensures that the pressure-reducing valves (PRVs) in the water supply network are operating effectively and managing the pressures at the determined settings to preserve the lifespan of the pipeline and reduce the occurrence of water wastage resulting from pipe bursts. Pressure fluctuations may be experienced, but will be minimised as far as possible.<br><br> <br>This work forms part of the City's Water Demand Management Strategy. Managing water pressure more effectively reduces the possibility of pipe bursts and water wastage.<br><strong> </strong><br><br><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Maintenance work – Pipe and valve installations, repairs and replacements</strong></span><br><br><strong> </strong><br>This work will result in the water supply disruption to these areas:<br> </li></ol><ol><li><strong>Site B – Nonkqubela area (Khayelitsha) </strong><br>The water supply to this area will be shut-off <strong>from 08:00 until 16:00 on Wednesday, 4 October 2023.</strong> This will enable the maintenance team to safely install a 450mm diameter valve on the main water supply pipeline.
