In 2023, the Tshwane Metro and the Department of Water and Sanitation devised a solution to the Hammanskraal water crisis that involved by-passing the polluted Apies River.
Within a few months Magalies Water completed a modular water treatment plant on the Pienaars River, one of the biggest such projects on the African continent.
The Klipdrift package plant can deliver clean water to people's taps - if only Tshwane can complete its part of the project.
All four phases of the project should have been done by June this year, but only the first phase has been fully delivered. In other words, only residents in phase one have clean water from Magalies Water.
