Another 14, 004 meters, will be installed, to prepare for water supply.
At the time of a cholera outbreak in Hammanskraal last year, EN365, spoke to Fenkie Modise, Businesswoman and laundry owner, whose business and home is in Hammanskraal. Modise said, as a result of the bad water quality in the area, she commutes to Pretoria, to buy chemicals to clean it for her laundromat.
