Camdeboo Local Municipality 2012 Blue and Green Drop Reports
Areas that requires attention in terms of the Blue Drop Requirements • Water Safety Planning • Treatment Process Management • DWQ Compliance • Management, Accountability • Asset Management
Challenges related to the Water Treatment Works • The absence of an operational logbook; • The Operations and Maintenance manual compiled by DWA RRU not being utilised; • The jar testing equipment is available but not used as yet; • The working conditions of the process controllers (toilet facilities and the area for eating is not favourable to instil pride in the work place); • The filtration process can be improved noting the recorded turbidity levels of final water as well as the visible unacceptable condition of the filter media; • The gas chlorine content measurement scale was out of order and is identified as a significant risk area; • The lack of flow recording at Aberdeen boreholes is a risky operation since the municipality has no means of monitoring abstraction vs. safe yield of the aquifer.
Highest Risk Area • Operating capacity exceeds design capacity; • Non-compliance with R2834/17; • No effluent compliance monitoring.
Recommendations to improve the DWQM & WWQM • To develop an action plan that will address all the gaps as identified in the 2012 Blue Drop and Green Drop Reports. • Upload the data on a monthly basis on the Blue Drop System and Green Drop System. • Develop the Waste Water Risk Abatement Plan.
