Nosidima Vuminda Manager Parks and Recreation for George Municipality accompanied the trio during their site inspection of the public facilities.

 

Wilderness Beach has full Blue Flag status and Victoria Bay and Herold’s Bay both gained Pilot status. Blue Flag is an international coastal management programme that accredits beaches that meet standards of excellence in water quality, environmental management, environmental education and information as well as safety and services. In South Africa the programme is implemented by the Wildlife Environmental Society of South Africa (WESSA).

 

Blue Flag status offers many benefits including improved tourism facilities, enhanced management of coastal ecosystems, increased awareness of the coast and capacity building of coastal municipalities as well as carrying significant international merit.

 

The Blue Flag season runs from 1 December 2021 to 31 January 2022. Compliance includes high standards of water quality monitoring, public safety and lifeguard services, and well-maintained coastal amenities. Following the flash floods of Monday 22nd November large piles of debris is still in process of being removed from the beaches and as such the Blue Flag will officially be hoisted on Friday 3rd December 2021. South Africa has participated in the Blue Flag programme since 2001.

Update 28 November 2021@18h00 – RESERVOIRS are recovering well but the situation remains critical – WATER BALANCING REMAINS IN PLACE

RESERVOIRS are recovering well but the situation remains critical
– WATER BALANCING REMAINS IN PLACE

George Municipality, 28 November @ 18h00

George Municipality urgently appeal to the residents of George to USE WATER SPARINGLY and ONLY FOR BASIC NECESSITIES. Average consumption has not reduced at all and is closer to the highest averages measured in a normal month.

Today Parkdene, Ballotsview, Lawaaikamp, Borcherds, Conville and Convent Gardens were isolated in an attempt to reduce the water consumption in the overall network and valves were opened again at approximately 18h00. This resulted in stability in the main reservoir levels.

Without the assistance of everyone, water balancing will have to continue for a longer period until normal balance can be achieved.

We plead with the public to limit their household water consumption during peak times. Peak times are between 07h00 – 09h00 in the morning, 12h00 to 14h00 and 17h00 to 20h00.
We thank the members of the public who have been cooperating thus far, but without everyone’s help, the network will take even longer to stabilise.

The Civil Engineering Services Department will continue to monitor until the reservoirs have recovered enough before opening full network again.

The public is to note that if they do not have water it is not necessarily due to a pipe burst but due to controlled water balancing of the system. Every attempt is being made not inconvenience the public and personnel are co-ordinating the placement of water trucks when and where required
The co-operation of the entire community of George, Wilderness and Herold’s Bay is requested.
PLEASE report EMERGENCIES ONLY to 044 801 9111 until Telkom can restore other lines.
