New Pipeline from Rustfontein to Botshabelo
Modder River: 63mm Ratabane Pipeline Installation
Raw Water Pipeline Cathodic Protection
3 - 4
<
>
The Rustfontein to Lesaka 15km, 700mm ductile Iron pipeline, parallel to the existing 600mm steel pipeline is undergoing testing stages. The project will increase the water supply to the following towns: Botshabelo, Thaba Nchu and Excelsior. The project benefited the community through job creation.
This project was identified because of water shortage at Ratabane and Paradys Villages. The existing pipeline of 75mm diameter stretches from the take-off from the Northern Main Pipeline to Ratabane Village. This was not enough to supply the Ratabane and Paradys Villages; therefore, to augment water supply to the two villages, a 63mm diameter pipeline was installed parallel to the existing pipeline to Ratabane Village. The project benefits the local communities through increased economic activities and job creation, improved water supply to the villages, minimized vandalism and increased revenue for Bloem Water.

It was identified that the steel raw water pipeline at Welbedacht Water Treatment Works needed cathodic protection to prevent the pipeline from corroding. The project will repair the pipe coating, prevent the corrosion of the pipeline and extend the lifespan thereof.
