Thank you for two thousand comments on marine outfalls and wastewater treatment permits
10 December 2023
The City of Cape Town’s Water and Sanitation Directorate appreciates the active citizenry of all those who submitted written comments through the City’s ‘Have Your Say’ platforms, about the marine outfalls discharge permits and wastewater treatment works in Mitchells Plain, Simon’s Town, Millers Point, Oudekraal and Llandudno.
Some 2 063 submissions were received on the City’s website during the 60-day public participation period, from 21 September to 21 November 2023.
‘Thank you to all residents and stakeholders who responded to the call for comment and participated in these important discussions through the appropriate channels,’ said Mayoral Committee Member for Water and Sanitation, Councillor Zahid Badroodien.
The City is currently collating the inputs received in preparation for a response to the permit applications for the Hout Bay, Green Point and Camps Bay marine outfalls, as well as the wastewater treatment works.
‘Both the public comments and the City’s responses will be submitted to the National Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE) for its decision on the applications,’ said Councillor Badroodien.
