The project was rolled out in phases, the first phase has been completed and included the upgrading of the reticulation system and replacing of the existing AC to PVC pipe. 

This work will enhance the pumping capacity to the reservoir at The Heads and will also address pressure management issues.

The second phase will include the installation of a new rising main (110 mm diameter uPVC Class 16 pressure pipes) from the existing pump station adjacent to George Rex Drive up to Emu Crescent.

Knysna Executive Mayor and Ward 9 Councillor, Mark Willemse said that the project is a direct outcome of the municipality’s Integrated Development Plan (IDP). 

“The municipality has always encouraged its residents to actively participate in the IDP process and to take ownership of their own community development. Because of the active involvement of the residents of Ward 9, this project could be implemented.”
