The Works comprise rehabilitation of Mission Street between Beach Road and Church Street as indicated in the layout sketch.
The work will entail milling and removal of the existing bituminous surface layers and placing of new bituminous base and surfacing.
PROJECT PERIOD:
17 May to 31 May 2022.
SERVICE DISRUPTION:
Traffic deviations and congestion can be expected, with unplanned municipal services disruptions during the construction period.
Daily 8h30 – 12h30

TRAFFIC ACCOMMODATION:
The road will be re-constructed in half-widths, with Mission Street operated as one way in the direction of travel, alternating depending on the lane being constructed, while access
will be restricted to property owners within the lane being constructed. Drivers are requested to make use of Chruch Street as an alternative route during the construction period.

The price increase from Eskom to municipalities will be 8.61% as from 1 July 2022. George Municipality will be implementing an average price increase of 8% to cover this and own cost increases based on the NERSA guideline.
George Municipality will also be implementing tariff structure changes. This follows the completion of a comprehensive cost of supply study as required by NERSA and stipulated in the National Electricity Pricing Policy (EPP) of South Africa. The study showed that the current tariffs do not reflect the actual cost of supplying different consumers accurately and do not address the changing energy environment. The proposed changes, subject to final NERSA approval, which will be phased in over a two-year period to allow consumers to adapt to the new structures:
Die Eskom prysverhoging aan munisipaliteite beloop 8.61% op 1 Julie 2022. George munisipaliteit sal ‘n algemene prysverhoging van 8% toepas om die Eskom en eie kosteverhogings te dek in ooreenstemming met NERSA se aanbevole verhoging.
George munisipaliteit sal ook nuwe tariefstrukture implimenteer. Dit volg nadat ‘n volledige koste van voorsiening studie voltooi is, soos vereis deur NERSA en gestipuleer is in die Nasionale Elektrisiteits Prys Beleid (EPP) van Suid Afrika. Die studie het aangedui dat die huidige tariewe nie die werklike koste van voorsiening van verskillende verbruikers reflekteer nie en nie die veranderende energie omgewing aanspreek nie. Die voorgestelde veranderings, onderhewig aan finale NERSA goedkeuring, wat oor ‘n twee jaar periode infaseer gaan word, ten einde verbruikers kans te gee om aan te pas by die nuwe struktur:
