“𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐧𝐨 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐙𝐞𝐫𝐨 𝐢𝐧 𝐆𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐠!” Many cities in South Africa are currently experiencing interruptions in #watersupply due to flood damage, vandalism, aging infrastructure, as well as emergency and scheduled maintenance. Today the AHK Southern Africa facilitated an information session on the future of Johannesburg’s water supply🚰 in midst of the most intense maintenance schedule that Rand Water has implemented thus far. Overall, despite the inconveniences encountered, we should maintain a positive outlook on the ongoing maintenance efforts. These activities are essential for preventing the long-term deterioration of our infrastructure. 💻 Watch the online information session recording here: https://lnkd.in/dvbS-HNb We thank Mogan Padayachee, Obby Masia from Rand Water, as well as Dr. Zakhele Khuzwayo for providing an update on the current, medium- and long-term strategic interventions to keep the taps running in Johannesburg and Gauteng at large. Thank you also to Luntu Ndalasi from the Municipal Infrastructure Support Agent for providing a national perspective and the support that MISA is providing to the municipalities and Water Supply Authorities. Necessary maintenance still impacts #industries and #businesses🚨 While Johannesburg Water and Rand Water are working hard to maintain and restore water supply to the city, businesses must keep running to keep their doors open. 💡 Carl Haycock from Talbot highlighted that, businesses can help themselves and gave the following valuable advice “Measure, assess, develop your strategy. Start simple and evolve; seek the opportunity, it is not always a cost.” 💡 Carsten Orzol from Memcon brought product recovery from wastewater and utilities recycling to the forefront of our minds. He called on the listeners to “think about going upstream, think about never mix, think about what the low hanging fruit are and where we can add value”. 💡 Businesses can also help themselves by considering following best practices as offered in the various ISO Standards that can help businesses in becoming more resilient to water supply interruptions. Francois Labuschagne from DQS South Africa (Pty) Ltd. shared his expertise on how companies can create robust systems to manage water resources effectively. Finally, Beatrice Abel Roseler Roeseler from the City of Johannesburg highlighted how the Department of Economic Development can support local and international businesses in navigating among other departments Johannesburg Water, Department of Development Planning and City Power.
