Verklaring: Watersituasie in Kouga Die Kouga-gebi Verklaring: Watersituasie in Kouga
Die Kouga-gebied staan tans voor ’n kritieke watersituasie wat ons gemeenskap en
besigheidsbedrywighede direk raak. Die reservoirs wat deur die Churchill Dam voorsien word, is op
sowat 20% kapasiteit, wat ’n ernstige risiko vir volhoubare toevoer in Jeffreys Bay en omliggende
dorpe inhou.
Die munisipaliteit het reeds verskeie stappe geneem om die impak te verlig:
- Boorgatontwikkeling en behandelingsaanlegte is in werking gestel.
- Die Gill Marcus Water Treatment Works is opgegradeer.
- Vyf nuwe water-suiweringsaanlegte is voltooi, wat Kouga se dam-afhanklikheid van 70% na 35%
verminder het.
- Waterbesparingsveldtogte en regulasies is ingestel, insluitend boetes en ’n verbod op vuurwerke.
Belangrike konteks:
- Kouga is sterk afhanklik van Nelson Mandela Baai se watersisteem.
- Jeffreys Bay en omliggende dorpe ervaar gereeld wateronderbrekings en swak kwaliteit.
- Die situasie vereis gemeenskapsamewerking en doeltreffende bestuur.
Ten spyte van hierdie pogings bly die situasie uitdagend. Ons doen ’n beroep op alle lede om:
- Waterbesparing streng toe te pas.
- Innovasie en samewerking te bevorder.
- Bewustheid te versterk deur verantwoordelike praktyke.
- Aktief betrokke te wees by gesprekke met die munisipaliteit.
Ons Forum sal die situasie noukeurig monitor en bly in gesprek met die munisipaliteit om
volhoubare oplossings te verseker.
Met waardering,
Lieb Swiegers
