Rothdene pump station upgrades to be completed soon
The Midvaal Local Municipality(MLM) is making significant progress on the upgrade of the Rothdene Pump Station, a key infrastructure project aimed at improving sewage management and eliminating unpleasant odours affecting nearby communities.
Recently, Municipal officials conducted an oversight visit to the site to monitor construction progress and ensure quality standards are being met.
According to MLM, the pump station plays a critical role in processing sewage from several areas, including Sicelo, Henley on Klip, Daleside, and parts of the Midvaal industrial zones. For years, residents living near the station have expressed concern over persistent foul odours emanating from the facility.
In response, the municipality has appointed a contractor to install a state-of-the-art Odour Control System designed to neutralize offensive smells and significantly improve air quality for surrounding neighbourhoods.
'The upgrade project remains on schedule, with full completion anticipated by the end of June. Several key components of the upgrades, such as servicing the 5-ton Demag cranes, repairing and installing Variable Speed Drives (VSDs), and refurbishing the unit breaker, were completed earlier this year.'
