The Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) has provided R71.8-million in funding to the Dr Beyers Naude local municipality, in the Eastern Cape, for the Graaff-Reinet Emergency Bulk Supply Scheme.

The scheme is aimed at addressing the water supply challenges in the drought-stricken town of Graaff-Reinet.

Phase 1 of the Graaff-Reinet Emergency Water Supply Scheme was completed in August 2020.

Phase 2 is under way and includes the refurbishment and equipping of old boreholes and the drilling of new ones; the construction of the new Umasizakhe pipeline (gravity and rising main); and bulk meter installation.

DWS spokesperson Sputnik Ratau says the funding allocation for the project was split over several financial years, starting in 2016 when work on the supply scheme project commenced.
