Can desalination save Cape Town from water crisis in nick of time?
Cape Town will have its first desalination plants working just weeks before the city’s dams are expected to dry up.
That’s according to City of Cape Town Informal Settlements‚ Water and Waste Services and Energy mayoral committee member‚ Xanthea Limberg.
“Monwabisi and Strandfontein [plants] are currently scheduled for February 2018‚ but we are exploring opportunities to implement earlier‚ once internal funding issues are resolved‚” Limberg told TimesLIVE.
Mayor Patricia de Lille told the media earlier this month that municipal water supply might run out in March next year‚ if current usage remains the same.
