Description | The System 5A Water Purification Plant at Rand Water’s Zuikerbosch Station in Vereeniging, Gauteng, is the largest of its kind in Africa. It is a key part of Rand Water’s long-term infrastructure plan, drawing raw water from the Vaal River via the Integrated Vaal River System. The plant adds 600 million litres of potable water per day to the network, enough to supply an additional 2.4 million people, benefiting municipalities in Gauteng, parts of Mpumalanga, North West and the Free State. The treatment process includes dosing of lime and ferric chloride for coagulation, gravity sedimentation in 100m-long tanks, pH correction using carbon dioxide, rapid sand filtration, and final chlorination before distribution. |
