Contrary to recent media reports, Rhodes 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网 is not about to shut down. Treated water is being supplied from Settlers Dam and whilst the dam level is very low, the 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网 is closely monitoring the situation, and has thrown its full weight behind the plan to prolong this supply for as long as possible as per the water crisis plan released by the Municipality.
Furthermore, a plan has been developed for the time if and when Settlers Dam were to run dry, in which case treated water will be supplied to the entire City on a rotational basis from the Glen Melville Dam via the James Kleynhans Water Treatment Works (JKWTW).
The 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网 has been working closely with various arms of government and the Municipality to get the JKWTW functioning optimally prior to the potential Settlers Dam outage.
The 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网 is obviously concerned about the recent shut-down of the JKWTW due to the inflows of highly turbid water, and is liaising with the relevant authorities in this regard. The 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网 is also assisting with the supply of clean water to communities on the eastern side of town.
Regarding the statement from Rhodes 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网 Vice Chancellor, Dr Sizwe Mabizela, which states "Rhodes 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网 will have to close its doors" attention is drawn to the fact that the original statement indicates that this will only happen in the absence of reasonable water sources. As already mentioned, the 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网 is monitoring the situation very closely.
