The Midvaal local municipality has installed an automated chlorine dosing system at the Meyerton water reservoir, which supplies water to over 80% of the Midvaal areas.

The R1.2-million project aims to proactively protect residents and guarantee that tap water remains safe and drinkable, adding an extra layer of protection as a first line of defence against microbial contamination in the distribution system and reducing the risk of waterborne disease outbreaks such as cholera.

The chlorine dosing system continuously monitors and analyses the residual chlorine levels in the water, and, based on real-time data, automatically adjusts and doses the necessary amount of chlorine to maintain safe levels at the point of consumption.

This will assist the Midvaal local municipality to maintain compliance with South African National Standards for potable water, as well as ensure cost-effectiveness, as chlorine is affordable and easy to store and manage.

Further, the system protects municipal infrastructure by limiting degradation within pipelines, ultimately extending the lifespan of the distribution network.

“This investment reaffirms Midvaal’s commitment to providing safe drinking water and safeguarding the health and well-being of our residents,” the municipality said in a statement issued on Tuesday.
