Mokonyane gives thumbs-up as Eastern Basin plant treats 94 Mℓ/d of AMD

Water and Sanitation Minister Nomvula Mokonyane has lauded the successes achieved at the Eastern Basin acid mine drainage (AMD) treatment plant, in Springs, in Gauteng. The R1-billion plant, which started operations in June 2016, was completed under the instruction of State-owned water management and project implementation authority Trans-Caledon Tunnel Authority (TCTA), as directed by the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS). The plant is operated by industrial water treatment company Tecroveer Thanda Manzi, under the auspices of TCTA.
