Sections of Monwabisi beach temporarily closed due to decommissioning operations at the desalination plant

7 February 2021

Residents are reminded that the area will be treated as a construction site and all applicable safety practices and procedures will apply

​

Sections of the beach will be temporarily closed during this period, while contractors work on the seaward side to move part of the intake and brine pipelines. 

These sections of the pipelines will be temporarily stored next to the existing intake infrastructure in the ocean, which is already indicated with a marker buoy at a depth of approximately seven metres until it can be removed at a later stage.

Residents are reminded that the area will be treated as a construction site and all applicable safety practices and procedures will apply. The City will ensure that the area is rehabilitated and restored to the same condition as before.

In the meantime, beachgoers are requested to avoid the construction site and instead, make use of the rest of the facilities at the beach.

The City wants to thank residents in advance for their patience and cooperation.
