Question NW3559 to the Minister of Water and Sanitation
13 December 2023 - NW3559
Mogale, Mr T to ask the Minister of Water and Sanitation
Whether his department has plans in place to provide the residents of Thaba Nchu Zone 1 and 2 with proper bulk water and sanitation infrastructure, if not, why not; if so, what are the specific time frames in this regard?
Reply:
The Mangaung Metropolitan Municipality is funded through the Urban Settlements Development Grant (USDG), which is managed by the Department of Human Settlements, for basic infrastructure including water and sanitation.
The Mangaung Metro has reported that water supply infrastructure Zone 1 and 2 in Thaba Nchu is functional. The municipality is in the process of appointing a new contractor planning to revive the project for construction of a Wastewater Treatment Plant for which the services of a previous contractor were terminated. It is anticipated that the contractor will be on site by February 2024.
