Sewage overflows Vandalism contributes to problem, says municipality Marti Will mwill@volksblad.com
Theft and vandalism are two of the causes of the north and south pump houses in Bronville not working.
The disgusting sewage problem in Bronville is receiving urgent attention and should be solved by Sunday (27/08). “The municipality is aware of the sewerage problems in Bronville. “On 10 August we procured the services of an eco-combination recycling unit. “They started working in Mandela Park on 15 August. “This was, however, ineffective due to specific challenges at the pump stations,” says Betty Maswanganyi, executive
director: Infrastructure Services at the Matjhabeng Local Municipality. Maswanganyi says the Bronville North and the Bronville South pump stations are not operating effectively due to a number of factors, ranging from large foreign objects blocking sewer lines and clogging pumps, to theft and vandalism. “Vandalism and criminal activities (especially by illegal miners) play a major role in the current situation. “If municipal workers unblock a drain today, then by tomorrow the zama-zamas will have damaged it again.
“They allegedly need the water for the gold processing,” she says. To restore the functionality of these pump stations, the municipality has appointed a service provider. “They will identify problems to ensure effective operation of the pump stations,” she says. The repair work was planned to start on Wednesday (23/08) and it may take a period of three to four days to clean everything and restore the functionality of the pump stations. Vicky Morris, the councillor for Ward 11, confirms that

both the north and south sewage substations in Bronville are not working due to vandalism. The security guard at the one station was assaulted and the pumps and electrical boxes inside were stolen, he says. Morris says he plans a community meeting in Bronville for this weekend. Details will be published on Morris’s Bronville Facebook page. The municipality is also attending to the major sewage problem at the corner of Koppie Alleen Road and Stateway in Welkom.
