Description
Description | The Faure New Water Scheme is a project in Cape Town that transforms treated wastewater from the Zandvliet Wastewater Treatment Works into clean, safe drinking water using advanced purification technologies. It will produce up to 70 million litres of recycled water daily, significantly boosting Cape Town's water supply and helping to combat water shortages. The project follows a public-private partnership model where a private company will finance, build, and operate the facility, while the City of Cape Town retains oversight of water quality and safety. Ownership and control will return to the municipality once fully operational. The scheme employs microfiltration, reverse osmosis, and ultraviolet disinfection to ensure water safety and quality. Community involvement is central to the project, with public consultations and feedback shaping the final design and operation. |
