“While Winklespruit will, for now, remain closed for both bathing and watersport activities, we remain confident that various interventions could see this change within the next week,” said Beetge.
He said indications are that work scheduled on the Kingsway 2 pump station (Warner Beach) and Isundu Road will be complete by end of the week.
“Tankers are scheduled to assist with overflow at both the vandalised Ipahla pump stations, north of Pipeline, in anticipation of the replacement of control panels through supply chain processes,” he said.
Beach usage will remain subject to continued water-sampling results.
