Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis accepted the final handover of the upgraded Zandvliet Waste Water Treatment Works from the construction contractor.
The Zandvliet upgrade is one of the city’s largest infrastructure projects to date, providing improved sanitation, particularly for low-income households in the metro’s eastern region. Councillor Zahid Badroodien, Mayoral Committee Member for Water and Sanitation, attended the handover event on Wednesday.The upgrade increases treatment capacity from 72 to 90 million litres per day, helping to support a growing population and economy.
‘The biggest impact of this Zandvliet upgrade will be directly to the lives – and the dignity – of the families who live in the areas serviced by this plant. Here we’re talking about communities in Delft, Khayelitsha, Mfuleni and Blue Downs – some of the fastest-growing catchments in the city. ‘Proper, functioning sanitation is the difference between a life of struggle and a life of dignity. Today we’re not just celebrating an impressive piece of infrastructure – we’re celebrating a big step up in the dignity of the residents of these communities.
