The plant is a major purification facility designed to treat sewage water and distribute it to households in Hammanskraal.
JOHANNESBURG - Tshwane Mayor Nasiphi Moya is scheduled to visit the Rooiwaal wastewater treatment plant on Thursday morning to assess its upgrades.
Two years ago, a cholera outbreak in the township claimed the lives of dozens of people due to the contaminated water supplied by the city. Following the cholera outbreak in the township, the city of Tshwane and the national government revived the project to upgrade the plant. This phase is expected to be completed by the end of January, after which phase 1-b will begin, which involves refurbishing the plant.
