GEORGE NEWS - George Municipality started improving access to homes with steep slopes in Rosedale, Thembalethu and Touwsranten in November last year. 

Further measures to bring relief to several homes that continuously flood in times of heavy downpour are underway, including the building of channels to re-route run-off water and the installation of gutters and downpipes to minimise excess rainwater into the yards.

In these areas, a total of 64 houses were identified with storm water problems and to date 23 houses have been completed. 

A tender for the installation of retaining walls is still in the procurement process.

Workers are building channels to re-route run-off water, installing gutters and downpipes and buffers to bring relief, especially during heavy downpours.

Retaining walls are built to help keep the water out.
