The Faure New Water Scheme is a bold new project in Cape Town that turns treated wastewater into clean, safe drinking water using advanced technology. It will add up to 70 million litres of recycled water every day, helping the city fight water shortages and protect the environment. The city invites everyone to join the conversation, making sure the community’s voice shapes this important plan. Together, Cape Town is finding smart, creative ways to secure its water future for all.
Water is the quiet heartbeat of a city, and keeping its pipes and valves in good shape is a daily dance beneath our feet. In Cape Town, crews work carefully to fix leaks, replace old pipes, and clean reservoirs so everyone has clean, steady water. Though the work can cause brief disruptions—like lower water pressure or short outages—it helps save thousands of liters and protects the city’s future. This hidden effort shows how important teamwork, patience, and care keep life flowing smoothly for every neighborhood.
