The TLM reported that it is currently constructing a 7 pond oxidation system, to provide needy communities with sanitation. The TLM further reported that the dam is being built at a cost of R11 million with MIG funds and the old dams are overflowing, but precaution measures are in place to prevent water wastage. The TLM expects the water project to be completed by June 2010. The Strydenburg area has a 5 pond system in place for 2 years and is in a good condition.
