Uniondale: Water Discolouring

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Uniondale water treatment plant’s outflow quality was affected with the unusual low raw water dam levels.

Floc carryover was noticed and the George Municipal operations had to clean the primary and secondary sedimentation dams at the water treatment plant. This resulted in higher-than-normal turbidity water entering our potable water storage reservoirs, and ultimately the water distribution network.

George Municipality can confirm that the water is safe for consumption and advise the public to boil the water before consumption.

The maintenance will be concluded within the next 3 to 4 hours after which the water network will be scoured.

The water discolouring will subside over the next few hours.

A water truck will be roaming the town area.

Update: Low Water Pressure and No Water in Heather Park

The issue has been identified as faulty valves that need to be replaced. Municipal teams are on their way to restore water supply.

The affected areas include De Oewer and the SPAR shopping center.
Estimated time for restoration is 4-6 hours.

A water tanker will be stationed at SPAR Heather Park during this time.

Alien Invasive Plant Awareness Campaign: Sword Fern

Municipal Plant of the Month – Sword Fern: Nephrolepis exaltata / cordifolia. The sword fern typically grows in woodland areas. Fronds tend to be dull green in shaded areas and lighter green or yellowish-green when growing in a sunny position. Both fertile and sterile fronds are pinnate. Rhizomes are orange-brown to pale brown with linear scales having hair-like tips.

It spreads through the thousands of spores it produces. These spores are dispersed by wind and water.

Invasive status: Listed as Nemba Category 1b invasive weed, it is a habitat transformer and must be removed. It threatens indigenous species by aggressively invading swamps, forests, coastal bush, and roadsides. It forms dense stands, quickly displacing indigenous vegetation thus threatening biodiversity.

Control: When uprooting by hand ensure all parts of the plant have been removed. Poisons are available. Regular follow-up is essential.
