Northdale Sewer Pump Station and Rising Main

The eThekwini Municipality proposes to construct a new sewer pump station and rising main within Ward 62 of the eThekwini Municipality. An existing pump station and rising main are currently in place, however this aging infrastructure is extremely dilapidated and as a result, suffers from continual blockages. The existing pump station will therefore be demolished once the new infrastructure has been constructed and the existing rising main will be abandoned and left in place. The proposed new sewer pump station will be located at the following point location, 29°32'29.94"S; 31°7'52.25"E. The proposed new connection point for incoming sewage will be at the following point location, 29°32'29.87"S 31°07'53.50"E which will connect directly to the proposed new pump station. Sewage discharged from the new proposed pump station will then enter the new proposed 160mm Ø HDPE rising main which will be approximately 430m in length and will connect to an existing 160mm Ø gravity bulk sewer line at the following point, 29°32'38.58"S 31° 7'53.44"E. Although the entire area is urban, the site where the new pump station will be located as well as a portion of the rising main route will be within 32m of a watercourse in an area zoned as Public Open Space.
