Work has been completed on a new R34 million pipeline that will distribute treated sewage water from the City of Cape Town’s Athlone Wastewater Treatment Works to surrounding areas.

City spokesperson Clive Justus says despite Cape Town’s rapid growth in population and industrial expansion, the City has shown a 26 % saving in water usage by the end of the previous financial year and the new pipeline will help to improve on that figure.

Justus says the new pipeline will make available purified and treated sewage which is of high quality and suitable for irrigation and industrial usage.
