THE City of Cape Town has confirmed that construction of the R5.2 billion upgrade to the Potsdam Wastewater Treatment Works (WWTW) in Milnerton has passed the 60% completion mark, with the project on track for delivery in late 2027.
Launched in April 2023, the upgrade is regarded as one of the metros largest infrastructure undertakings and is intended to “future-proof” essential water and sanitation services for a rapidly growing population.
Once completed, Potsdam’s treatment capacity will more than double, increasing from 47 million litres to 100 million litres per day, said the City.
