7.3 Mooi System 7 . 3 MMM OOI SSS Y S T E M 7 . 3 . 1 GGG REATER MMM POFANA BBB ULK WWW ATER SSS UPPLY Planning No. 105.24 Project No. Project Status Detailed Feasibility (as at January 2011) Project Description Sustained housing development and tourism related activities are increasing the water demand at several nodes along the R103 road between Lions River (uMngeni Local Municipality) and Mooi River (Mpofana Local Municipality). This growth is beginning to stress local water resources and water supply infrastructure in the area. It has been identified that a regional bulk water supply scheme is required to ensure that the area has a reliable water supply that will sustain this growth into the future. The proposed scheme ( Figure 7.4) will obtain raw water from the soon-to-be constructed Spring Grove Dam on the Mooi River for a WTP to be situated adjacent to the dam. From here potable water will be pumped to two command reservoirs. The first reservoir will be located at Bruntville in Mooi River. This reservoir will serve the greater Mooi River area and will have the potential to supply the Muden/Rocky Drift area. The Mooi River WTP and Rosetta WTP can then be decommissioned. A link pipeline to supply the Vaalekop community has also been investigated. The second reservoir will be at Nottingham Road which will then supply Balgowan, Lidgetton and possibly Lions River. There is also a link pipeline to Mount West. The scheme is likely to be built in phases to gradually increase the supply area. The scheme together with all the proposed phases is indicated in Figure 7.5. Key information on this project is summarised in Table 7.4. Table 7.4 Project information: Greater Mpofana Bulk Water Supply Scheme. Project Components: Phase 1 : Water Treatment Works, associated pumpstations, pipeline to Nottingham Road and reservoir, and pipeline to Rosetta and Bruntville in Mooi River with associated reservoirs. Phase 2: Pipeline from Nottingham Road Reservoir to Balgowan and then Lidgetton including the Balgowan Reservoir. Phase 3: Pipeline from Nottingham Road to Mount West including a reservoir at Mount West. This pipeline should be constructed when the water demands in the Mount West and Currys Post can sustain the infrastructure development costs to supply water to this area. Capacity: 15Ml/day initially; Two upgrades to be undertaken when required to reach an ultimate capacity of 45Ml/day. 341 Figure 7.4 General layout of the Greater Mpofana Bulk Water Supply Scheme. 342 Mooi River Vaalekop Vaalekop Rosetta 0.2Ml Bruntvil le 12Ml Ø 110 Rosetta 1Ml MMTS 2 RWP Spring Mooi River Grove Ø 500 Spring 10Ml Grove Res.

Institutional Arrangements Umgeni Water will own, operate and maintain this bulk scheme and will sell potable water to the Umgungundlovu District Municipality as per the Bulk Water Supply Agreement. The Umgungundlovu District Municipality will then reticulate to the end consumers through existing and new supply infrastructure. Beneficiaries The scheme will serve residential and tourist establishments in the Mpofana Municipality and uMngeni Municipality within the Umgungundlovu District Municipality. It will also be a 343 source of potable water for low cost housing in Bruntville and Lions River in the Mpofana and uMngeni municipalities respectively. The forecasted water demand for the Greater Mpofana BWSS is shown in Table 7.5. Table 7.5 Water forecasts for the Greater Mpofana BWSS.

The total cost for Phase 1 is anticipated to be R 160 million (January 2010 cost). Whilst the scheme is required immediately, construction of the water treatment plant cannot commence until the construction of the Spring Grove Dam embankment and pump station have been completed and the contractors have vacated the site. This is anticipated to happen in 2013. Therefore, the scheme can only be commissioned at some date after this. 344 .

  • Descendants of William Park and Mary Martin
    Park Family History The following pages have a highly speculative attempt to reconstruct the history of the family of William Park, of Bath, Belfast and Quebec, who died in Bath, Somerset, England in 1844. It is known that his daughter Matilda married Richard Vause in Bath in January 1852, and that Matilda's sister married Frederick Hawkins on the same day, and that his wife was Mary Martin, daughter of John Martin, a merchant of Belfast, Antrim, Ireland. Most of the other information is based on circumstantial evidence and “connecting the dots”. Recently several people have helped by giving new dots to connect, but fresh evidence may show that they could be connected in entirely different way, so please do not add this information to your family tree yet. I've been helped a great deal by ShaunJ of the Rootschat website, who found some of the dots. I have compiled this family tree as a research tool only, as a working hypothesis to see where other family members might fit in. I will send this to some other family members who may be interested. If you have any more information on this family, please let me have it. If you would like me to pass on anything else I may find, please let me know. Please note the date on these documents. I am continuing my research and so the information here may be out of date and superseded within a few days, so please get in touch with me for the latest information.

  • Greater Mpofana Bulk Water Supply Scheme
    GREATER MPOFANA BULK WATER SUPPLY SCHEME IMPLEMENTATION READINESS REPORT OCTOBER 2016 PREPARED BY Umgeni Water Telephone N° : 033 341 1203 Fax N° : 033 341 1218 Email Address : [email protected] P O Box 3235 Pietermaritzburg, 3200 310 Burger Street Pietermaritzburg, 3201 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Context This project involves a potable bulk water supply scheme located in the Midlands area of the KwaZulu-Natal province. It is referred to as the Greater Mpofana Bulk Water Supply Scheme (GMBWSS). The Greater Mpofana Region (described in this report as the area from Mooi River to Lidgetton) does not have a reliable water supply. Much of the area relies on boreholes and run of river abstraction. With increasing demands, the future supply is not considered sustainable. Phase 1 of the project is currently under construction and will provide a sustainable bulk water supply to the towns of Mooiriver, Rosetta and Nottingham Road. Phase 2 of the project is in the final feasibility stage and will provide a sustainable bulk water supply to the towns of Lidgetton and Lions River including the rural hinterland surrounding the abovementioned towns in KwaZulu Natal. The Scheme will provide bulk water supply to large areas within the uMgungundlovu WSA boundary and will include the rural areas of Bruntville, Lidgetton, Lions River and Msinga. The scheme will also supply economic activities in the areas of Mooiriver, Nottingham Road and Rosetta and will reinforce the supply to these towns. This Implementation Readiness Report (IRS) for the GMBWSS is a prerequisite for RBIG funding so that potable water is made available to both the developing and backlog areas of Mooi River and Rosetta in the Mpofana Local Municipality and Nottingham Road, Mount West, Balgowan and Lidgetton in the uMngeni Local Municipality.

  • List of Outstanding Trc Beneficiaries
    List of outstanding tRC benefiCiaRies JustiCe inVites tRC benefiCiaRies to CLaiM tHeiR finanCiaL RePaRations The Department of Justice and Constitutional Development invites individuals, who were declared eligible for reparation during the Truth and Reconciliation Commission(TRC), to claim their once-off payment of R30 000. These payments will be eff ected from the President Fund, which was established in accordance with the Promotion of National Unity and Reconciliation Act and regulations outlined by the President. According to the regulations the payment of the fi nal reparation is limited to persons who appeared before or made statements to the TRC and were declared eligible for reparations. It is important to note that as this process has been concluded, new applications will not be considered. In instance where the listed benefi ciary is deceased, the rightful next-of-kin are invited to apply for payment. In these cases, benefi ciaries should be aware that their relationship would need to be verifi ed to avoid unlawful payments. This call is part of government’s attempt to implement the approved TRC recommendations relating to the reparations of victims, which includes these once-off payments, medical benefi ts and other forms of social assistance, establishment of a task team to investigate the nearly 500 cases of missing persons and the prevention of future gross human rights violations and promotion of a fi rm human rights culture. In order to eff ectively implement these recommendations, the government established a dedicated TRC Unit in the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development which is intended to expedite the identifi cation and payment of suitable benefi ciaries.
