GO GEORGE putting dustbins on trial

GO GEORGE toets nuwe vullisblikke Uitgereik Vrydag 21 Jan 2022


Verbygangers mag verbaas wees oor die oënskynlike oormaat vullisblikke by sommige bushaltes in die dorp, met geen vullisdromme by die res van die bushaltes nie. Daar is ‘n eenvoudige verduideliking: GO GEORGE toets tans drie soorte vullisdromme wat uit verskillende materiale vervaardig is om te bepaal wat op die lange duur die doeltreffendste sal wees.
Die vorige blou vullisdromme wat aan bushaltepale geheg was, is beskadig en in so ‘n mate gevandaliseer dat dit verwyder moes word.Om duursaamheid en volhoubaarheid te verseker, en om onderhoudskoste as gevolg van slytasie en vandalisme te verminder, is besluit om ‘n proefneming op vier verskillende plekke te doen en om dit oor ‘n tydperk van drie maande te monitor, waarna ‘n ingeligte besluit geneem kan word oor watter tipe die mees geskikte is vir oprigting by bushaltes.


Die metaal-, plastiek- en betonhouers kan gesien word by die Blanco-driehoek, George-vervoerkern (Transport Hub) in Cradockstraat, en die Beach/Panther- en Fourways-oorklimhaltes, wat almal hoë passasiersvolumes dra en ‘n aanduiding sal gee van die duursaamheid van die verskillende dromtipes.


GO GEORGE ly jaarliks groot verliese as gevolg van vandalisme van infrastruktuur en voertuie en sal hul fokus op hierdie kwessie verskerp met ‘n hoogs sigbare anti-vandalismeveldtog gedurende die komende maande.


Die gemeenskap word versoek om enige voorvalle van vandalisme aan te meld, hetsy klipgooiery of die verniel van skuilings of enige ander infrastruktuurelemente. Die publiek kan die GO GEORGE-inbelsentrum by 0800 044 044 skakel, verkieslik terwyl die skuldiges nog op die toneel is sodat hulle aangekeer kan word.

GO GEORGE putting dustbins on trial Friday 21 Jan 2022


Passers-by might be puzzled by the apparent overkill of three dustbins at some bus stops in town, and none at the rest of the stops. There is a simple explanation: GO GEORGE is currently testing three types of dustbins manufactured from different materials to determine which will be most effective in the long run. The previous blue dustbins attached to bus stop poles were damaged and vandalised to such an extent that they had to be removed.


To ensure durability and sustainability, and to minimise maintenance costs due to wear and tear and vandalism, it was decided to undergo a trial period at four different locations, and to monitor these over a three-month period, after which an informed decision can be made as to which type is best suited for roll-out at bus stops.


The metal, plastic and concrete bins can be seen at the Blanco Triangle, Transport Hub in Cradock Street, and the Beach/Panther and Fourways transfer stops, all of them being stops with high passenger volumes which should give an indication of the durability of the various bin types.


Suffering huge losses annually due to vandalism of its infrastructure and vehicles, GO GEORGE will also be sharpening their focus on this issue with a highly visible anti-vandalism campaign during the coming months.


The community is requested to report any incidences of vandalism, be that stone throwing, defacing of shelters or any other infrastructure elements. They can phone the GO GEORGE Call Centre on 0800 044 044, preferably while the culprits are still on the scene so that they may be apprehended.

Mayor’s Newsletter, 13 January 2022

Prior to the December-January holidays, the George Administration made a commitment to participate in the Blue Flag rating status for our beaches. Participation in this project requires a dedicated approach for the rigorous testing of sea water, cleanliness of beaches and ablutions, keeping dogs off beaches, presence of lifeguards and a host of other requirements. Blue Flag status is internationally recognised by the tourism industry.

This process also triggered the decision for George to offer our visiting holiday-makers a memorable and quality holiday experience during their stay. This strategy was decided upon on the presumption that South Africans wanted to come and enjoy George over 2021/22. A seasonal monitoring committee of 20-30 members representing all Directorates was established that met every weekday at 08h00 from 1 December. Progressively, greater teamwork and work-processes began to emerge with NSRI, Sanparks and SAPS all playing their roles. Cllr Marlene Barnardt volunteered to hold the daily councillor watching brief and I attended occasionally.

Dr Gratz chaired these meetings as the various niggles were ironed out, from the sale of illegal fireworks to those of our citizens who insisted on trying to smuggle liquor onto beaches, those leaving their litter behind on the beaches, dog owners insisting on walking their dogs on Blue Flag beaches and campers ignoring bylaws (fully explained to them prior to the season) forbidding overnight camping on beaches.

Unfortunately, we also have property developers who have tried to operate businesses without the necessary planning and building control permissions. Our law enforcement staff were also called to deal with the theft of electrical cables and vandalism of equipment representing a considerable cost to George, with local scrap dealers no doubt facilitating these illegal transactions.

We believe the holiday season has boosted for our local economy with retail, tourism, accommodation and restaurant establishments all having above normal seasons. Many job opportunities would have resulted from this surge in business. We trust that the season will extend to late in January with coastal schools only returning to class on the 19th. We are very encouraged with the enthusiasm of the many temporary and permanent employees who joined hands in this team effort to showcase George.

It is worth remembering that George also had to tackle some huge challenges as our infrastructure took strain during the floods of 22 November following by further rain storms a few weeks later and water pipeline breakages. At present we are consuming virtually all the water that we are able to treat on a daily basis (due to the bumper holiday season). This means that at present we are unable to replenish our reservoirs to the levels that we consider to be safe. However, we continue to manage this process.

Urgent public notice: Gwaiing River closed

Urgent public notice: Gwaiing River including the River Mouth and beach area are closed currently due to an overflow at Proefplaas sewerage pump station. The overflow has occurred due to an electrical interruption. George Municipality will keep the public updated and apologise for this situation that is out of our control. Issued by George Municipality 10 January 2022

PUBLIC NOTICE: PLEASE Reduce Water Consumption


Issued George Municipality, 10 January 2022

George Municipality urgently appeal to the residents of George to USE WATER SPARINGLY and ONLY FOR BASIC NECESSITIES.  Average consumption has not reduced at all over the past 10 days and is closer to the highest averages measured in a normal month. The Annual Average Water Demand (AADD) during the year is 32 Megalitres per day. From the 15th of December 2021, the AADD was 36 Megalitres per day, but demand is currently hovering around 38 ML per day at the moment.

Without the assistance of everyone, water balancing will have to continue indeterminately until normal balance can be achieved. We plead with the public to limit their household water consumption during peak times. Peak times are between 07h00 – 09h00 in the morning, 12h00 to 14h00 and 17h00 to 20h00.

We thank those members of the public who understand the risk and who have been cooperating thus far, but without everyone’s help, the network will take even longer to stabilise and the George bulk water distribution and storage system is recovering too slowly with excessive high water usage.

As reported in November 2021, a Budget Facility for Infrastructure funding (“BFI) has been allocated to George Municipality through the Regional Bulk Infrastructure Grant managed by the Department of Water and Sanitation. The potable Water Security and Remedial Works projects will extend the water treatment capacity and will be implemented in two phases over three years (2022 – 2025): Phase 1 and 2 is an additional 20 Mℓ/day extension to the New George WTW and Phase 3 is an additional 30 Mℓ raw water balancing dam at the New George WTW.

In the interim however it remains a fine balance and with our capacity limited excessive usage means that should a pipe burst on a potable line or there is loadshedding which affects our Water Treatment Works, there will be limited drinking water available. Residents should note that although the DAM LEVEL remains at 100%, this is RAW WATER storage and not POTABLE or DRINKING WATER supply. Raw water is treated at our treatment facilities prior to distribution. The current water demand is higher than the is higher than the treatment capacity.

Report water leaks and burst pipes to 044 801 9262/66 or after hours at 044 801 6300, as soon as you notice them.
