Montague Drive in Cape Town faced a major problem in August 2023 when a sewer breakdown revealed a deteriorating 50yearold fibre cement bulk sewer pipeline situated five meters beneath the ground. However, the City of Cape Town’s Water and Sanitation Directorate took swift action to address the issue, and the restoration of the road is progressing faster than planned, with the first section now accessible to traffic. The resilient residents and business owners of Milnerton have persevered throughout this process, and Montague Drive represents a city committed to creating a superior, smoother path for its inhabitants.
