WELCOME TO SAVE THE VAAL ENVIRONMENT

SAVE THE VAAL ENVIRONMENT (SAVE) is a non-profit organisation formed in the 1990’s to protect the Vaal River and its environs from pollution. SAVE’s mandate extends from the Vaal Dam in the east to Parys in the west.

STATEMENT RE VAAL DAM SEWAGE POLLUTION

SAVE the VAAL is deeply concerned about the ongoing spillages of raw or partially treated sewage into Vaal Dam from the Metsimaholo waste water treatment plant at Deneysville.

It is common knowledge that the sewage plant is dysfunctional and has been disposing of raw sewage by diverting sewage through trenches dug across farmland until it finally reaches the Vaal Dam or river.
