SANDF HELP SUPPLY WATER TO TWO DISTRICTS
The SA National Defence Force has provided ten water bunkers to two municipalities experiencing water shortages, a spokesman said on Monday.
Colonel Petrus Motlhabane said four water bunkers were provided to the Eden District municipality in the Western Cape on January 25, 2009.
"As of January 30, 2009, 367,000 litres of drinking water has been supplied to the town's main reservoir by SANDF teams, using four water bunkers," Motlhabane said.
Six water bunkers were provided to the Amathole District municipality in the Eastern Cape on January 28, 2009.
The SANDF team in this area has thus far provided 137,000 litres of water, pumped from the Fish River and transported to the Adelaide water purification plant.
"Operation HUMAN is scheduled to continue until February 28, 2009, whereafter the situation on the ground will be re-assessed," Motlhabane said.
