Cape Town - The removal of the sludge at the Cityâs Potsdam Wastewater Treatment Works (WWTW) will finally take place this week after residents in the Table View area were affected by a stench since early January.
The City advised that tenders have been granted and contracts concluded for the removal and disposal of sludge from the Wastewater Treatment Works across the city. The City said the appeals process was the reason for the delay of the service.
Milnerton Central Residents Association environmental portfolio head Caroline Marx said: âResidents in Milnerton, Table Bay and surrounding areas began complaining about the stench from Potsdam in early January together with complaints of worsening allergies and asthma and feeling nauseated to the point of retching.
