In October, 5 426m of water pipes and 4 887m of sewer pipes were replaced marking a significant increase in November with 7 777m of water pipes and 7 236m of sewer pipes.

Pipeline replacement forms part of the Water and Sanitation Directorate's strategy to reduce the number of sewer spills and to provide efficient sanitation services.

​​​​Over the new financial year, from July 2023 to June 2024, the City has budgeted a total of R863,6 million to invest in water and sewer pipe replacements city-wide.

​​'The City is working hard to give effect to its Water Strategy to ensure sufficient and high-quality drinking water into the future as well as a reliable wastewater service thereby ensuring a dignified service to citizens and a healthy environment,' said the City's Mayoral Committee Member for Water and Sanitation, Councillor Zahid Badroodien.
