After more than 10 years of issues with burst pipes in Kenridge, the City of Cape Town will replace the main water pipeline in some areas in Kenridge from January.
According to an email forwarded to
TygerBurger by Kenridge the Hills Rate Payers Association and Kenridge Neighbourhood Initiative, the work will start on Monday 4 January and last for about 20 weeks.
The about R4m project includes the trenchless rehabilitation of water mains by method of pipe cracking.
Pipe cracking is a technique used to crack open an existing pipeline from the inside, using a pipe cracking head and pulling a new pipe through the space it creates, Xanthea Limberg, Mayco Member for Water and Waste, explained.
