Back up generation for our sewer pumpstations

George Municipality manages and maintains a water and sewer infrastructure consisting of 116 sewer pump stations and 28 water pumpstations. Ongoing loadshedding implemented by ESKOM over the past few years has raised concerns with regard to maintaining the supply of potable water and sewer services.

The public often forget that during loadshedding the municipal sewer pumpstations and water treatment works are put under immense pressure and traditional storage capacities are not adequate to compensate for extended loadshedding. In a bid to ensure the provision of adequate potable (drinking) water and to reduce water pollution, 13 large-scale generators have been installed at our most critical installations including high risk identified sewer pumpstations as well as at the Old and New Water Treatment Works that treats raw water received from the Garden Route Dam into potable (drinking) water.

The tender process for the purchase and installation of two (2) 1100kVA generators to be installed at the Garden Route Dam raw water pumpstation have recently closed and are being evaluated. This installation will mean that during loadshedding or any other power outage, raw water can continue to be pumped to the Water Treatment Works for processing for drinking water supply.

Executive Mayor Ald Van Wyk noted that these generators need to be constantly re-fuelled with diesel as the municipality attempts to keep operations going under conditions where Eskom is unable to provide electricity for up to eight hours per day. A recent Energy Summit hosted provided insight into the state of Eskom. “I was recently privileged to attend an Energy Summit where the Eskom CEO, Andre de Ruyter spoke about the power station fleet that had been operated at maximum capacity for too long. This means that maintenance needs to be undertaken to avoid complete breakdowns. New generating capacity will have to be built over the next 15 years,” said Ald Van Wyk.

The purchase and installation costs of such large-scale generators is high, and these are not just ordered off the shelf. To date the municipality has installed generators at our sewer pump stations at a cost of approximately R13 million. The generators are diesel operated and have weather and vandal proof covers for protection. All of the backup generation is equipped with anti-vandalism and anti-theft devices and each is linked to the municipal telemetry and SCADA system for remote monitoring purposes.

Subject to change at any time.

*🔥RED ALERT - Eskom facing ‘Code Red’ – as major nuclear error reported🔥*
The next 12 months promise to be an almighty struggle for Eskom, which has now reached ‘Code Red’ – and it’s all gone wrong at Koeberg.

We can think of a few better ways to start the week than by receiving a ‘Code Red’ warning about Eskom. But, when the utility adds a major nuclear cock-up into the mix, the outlook gets even bleaker. A comedy of errors is now making a bad situation even worse for South-Africa.

WHY IS ESKOM NOW AT ‘CODE RED’
Over the weekend, Eskom published it’s power outlook for the year ahead. Needless to say, it makes for a tough read.

For 49 of the next 52 weeks, the ‘likely risk scenario’ for load shedding is rated high. The only predicted respite comes for two weeks at Christmas, and during one week in September 2023. For the foreseeable future, Eskom is indeed operating ‘at Code Red’.

WHAT IS CODE RED, AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR SOUTH AFRICA ?
Anton Eberhard is one of South Africa’s top energy policy specialists. After studying the ‘red-all-over’ column on the far right, he urged all citizens to make the switch to solar or battery power as soon as they can – because the next 12 months ‘will be a struggle’.

“We are now at Code Red. [That’s according to] ⁦South Africa’s power system outlook for the year ahead, published by Eskom. If you’ve not yet bought your home or business a solar/battery system yet, now’s the time…” | Anton Eberhard

NUCLEAR MISTAKE SETS ESKOM BACK ON ROAD TO RECOVERY
This news was compounded by another development reported on Monday, though. As per News24, it was confirmed that a R5bn nuclear generator destined for the Koeberg Nuclear Plant was ‘dropped on the factory floor’, causing extensive damage to the 360-tonne structure.

It’s an error of epic proportions, and there are serious consequences for South Africans. With one of Koeberg’s units currently offline, the national grid remains depleted. Chris Yelland, a leading energy analyst, summed up the crisis in his own words…
‘Good grief’ indeed!
