PLETTENBERG BAY NEWS - Damages caused by devastating floods experienced in the Bitou area about eight years ago, are finally being repaired thanks to an initiative by the Western Cape Water and Sanitation Department.
The Keurbooms gauging weir is currently being refurbished after floods in 2011 and 2012 washed the flanks away, leaving the foundations of the walls undercut.
During a visit to the weir last week, Ministry of Water and Environmental Affairs national spokesperson Sputnik Ratau said the remedial work was needed to address the “unsafe conditions” around the wall and to, among others, prevent potential loss of life downstream of the gauging weir.
