Authorities have confirmed that water from a new treatment plant is now safe for consumption in several Hammanskraal communities. A joint initiative between the City of Tshwane, the Department of Water and Sanitation, and Magalies Water has certified the supply for neighborhoods including Kudube Units 1, 2, 3, 6, 10, and D, as well as Majaneng Moshate. This milestone, part of the multi-phase Hammanskraal Intervention Project, follows extensive testing that confirmed the water meets national quality standards.
The project, which aims to resolve a long-standing water crisis linked to a deadly 2023 cholera outbreak, has faced significant hurdles. Officials reported that aging infrastructure and water demand nearly doubled the original projections have complicating the rollout. While Jubilee Hospital and the Dominican School for the Deaf remain on temporary water tankers due to internal plumbing issues, the overall system is being stabilized.
The Klipdrift Package Plant is currently providing an additional 12.5 million liters per day during this second phase. Work continues on the subsequent phases of the R4 billion program, which is designed to provide a permanent solution to the area's water quality problems.
