Le mpumelelo imele okungaphezu nje kwengqalasizinda; kuwuphawu lwenqubekelaphambili kanye nokubambisana phakathi kukaMasipala wasePrince Albert kanye nomphakathi wawo. Izakhamuzi ezake zaletha amabhodlela amanzi ansundu emihlanganweni manje zingaziqhenya ngemiphumela ecace bha - ubufakazi bokuthi ukuzibophezela nokusebenzisana kuletha ushintsho lwangempela. Kusukela ezinhlelweni ezithuthukisiwe zokuhlunga kanye ne-aeration kuya kubuchwepheshe be-osmosis, indawo entsha ibeke izinga elisha lokulethwa kwezinsizakalo esifundeni. Njengoba ukuhlola kubonisa, amazinga ebhaktheriya kanye nensimbi ehle kakhulu, okuqinisekisa ukutholakala kwamanzi aphephile futhi esimeme kuwo wonke umuzi. Impumelelo yale phrojekthi iphawula ingqophamlando ku-Leeu Gamka - isithembiso esigcwalisekile kanye nekusasa eliqhakazile, elihlanzekile elivikelekile.
Sekuyisikhathi eside umasipala uzibona izinselelo zamanzi aguqukile kanye nephunga elibi e-Leeu Gamka. Ngokulalela izakhamuzi - ezivame ukuletha amabhodlela amanzi aludaka emihlanganweni yomphakathi - umasipala usebenze ngokuzikhandla ukulungisa lezi zinkinga. Ukwakhiwa kwesikhungo esisha sokuhlanza (Project No. 196/2023) kuphawula ingqopha-mlando yakamuva emizamweni yabo eqhubekayo.
Lo msebenzi, owaqala ngomhla zingama-24 kuNhlaba wezi-2024 ngemva kokuqokwa kwe-Water Purification Chemical & Plant (PTY) LTD ngomhla zingama-24 kuMbasa wezi-2024, waphila ngokusekelwa i-H&J Automation kanye ne-Venleo Construction ngomsebenzi kagesi nowokwakha. Umphumela uwuhlelo olulapha amalitha ayizigidi ezi-0.772 zamanzi nsuku zonke ukuze kuhlangatshezwane nezidingo zomuzi ngamunye.
Inqubo ilula kodwa iyasebenza: amanzi kuqala angena ethangini lapho umoya ususa khona iphunga elibi - isinyathelo esaziwa ngokuthi i-aeration. Ibe isihlala echibini ukuze ukungcola kucwile, idlule ezihlungini eziyisikhombisa ukuze ithwebule izinhlayiya ezinhle, futhi idlule i-osmosis ehlehlayo - indlela yokuhlanza ejulile ekhipha izinto ezinjenge-sulphate ne-iron, eyabangela ukuguquguquka kwamanzi nokunambitheka okungajabulisi.
Ekugcineni, amanzi agcinwa futhi alungele ukusetshenziswa - futhi imiphumela iyamangalisa. Ngo-September 2024, ngaphambi kokuba lesi sitshalo sisebenze, ukuhlolwa kwabonisa amagciwane (ingqikithi yama-coliform) kumayunithi angu-15, ukuqhutshwa kukagesi (okuthinta ukunambitheka) ku-287, namazinga ensimbi kumayunithi angu-40, okubangele i-tint brownish. Ngo-Okthoba 2024, ngemva kokuba lesi sitshalo siqale ukusebenza, amagciwane ayesehlile afinyelela kuyunithi engu-1, ukuqhutshwa kwe-conductivity kwaba ngu-166 (ngaphakathi komkhawulo ophephile we-170), kanye nensimbi kumayunithi angu-20. Amanzi manje ahlanzekile, ahlanzekile, futhi ayamnandi ukuwaphuza.
“Lesi sigaba simane siyisiqalo sephrojekthi enkulu okuhloswe ngayo ukwenza ngcono izinga lezinsiza ezilethwa emphakathini,” kusho uMqondisi Wezinsizakalo Zobuchwepheshe, uMnu Zolile Nongene. “Izigaba ezilandelayo zizofaka ukwakhiwa kwamanye amadamu, iziteshi zokumpompa, nokuqedwa ngokuphelele kohlelo lwamabhakede e-Leeu Gamka.”
Sidlulisa ukubonga kwethu kubahlali bethu ngokuseseka kulo lonke lolu hambo. Lesi sitshalo akusona nje iphrojekthi - siyisithembiso esifeziwe: ukuletha amanzi asezingeni eliphezulu kuyo yonke imizi.
