Rand Water undertakes R1.3 billion pipeline project
Parts of Alberton from New Redruth running through to Meyersdal have been the scene of a R1.3 billion new pipeline project currently being undertaken by Rand Water Board.
ALBERTON – The project started in May 2014 with expected completion the first quarter of 2016. According to Justice Mohale, Media Relations Manager at Rand Water, the new pipeline is being constructed to replace an old existing concrete pipeline. The new pipeline will also assist in augmenting the system due to an increasing demand, he says.
Amazingly very little disruption has been caused to motorists, taking into account that the new pipeline project stretches along a 14.2 km route (first phase) and 2 100mm in diameter and a further six kilometres, also 2 100mm in diameter, in the second phase. The first phase starts from Rand Water’s Palmiet Pumping Station and ends at Signal Hill Reservoir. The second phase will be from Signal Hill reservoir to Klipfontein Reservoir.
