2022/09/02, 11h50 Still water running into road from Percy Stewart. Water is possibly fresh water from the fire hose. In the top photo can see the wet mark on the wall of the building. What a waste. 2022/09/02, 11:57 Percy Stewart/Nergland - a very recent sludge spillage. It doesn’t appear as if any sludge got into the Blougat.
Bergland. 2022/08/26 08h50 Water flow about normal. Visibility poor, not as much suspended particles. Slight smell. Foam still present. Noticeably gassing rising from the river bed. The following photos were taken at this same location on the 1st April 2022. The deterioration can be seen. The level of the water is the same and upstream there are some springs feeding in clean water into the system. I can only assume that overall there has been a consistent deterioration.
2022/08/15, 09h23 Some bad news, heard that a manhole on the main sewer pipeline to Percy Stewart next to Robert Broom is overflowing into the Blougat. The pipeline is blocked and needs to be dug open to repair. No indication of how long to repair. Will be going past there tomorrow morning. (Thanks for actions by Stephan and Edwina) 2022/08/16, 09:37 Manhole overflowing into the Blougat Spruit. This is on the West Krugersdorp side. (on the eastern side of Robert Broom) Equipment is on site to dig but no idea how long to fix. Problem could be under Robert Broom 2022/08/18, 09h55 It seems as if the overflow has been cleared but there is all the rubbish on the ground still. Also not all manhole covers replaced. No rehabilitation was done.
