Orange River Project Pipeline

Construction of a R500 million pipeline from the Orange River Project, for Nelson Mandela Bay Metro in the Eastern Cape Province to alleviate water shortages. The first phase of the pipeline is already in existence stretching from the Gariep Dam near Venterstad towards the Eastern Cape through the Orange River Tunnel connecting with Cradock, Somerset East and Kirkwood. The water will be treated at the Nooitgedagt Water Works plant at Addo. It will be pumped into the Oliphants Reservoir before it gravitates into the metros articulation system.
