Implemented by Magalieswater and Rhovan PSV Mine, Vaalkop Raw Water Upgrade Project, is structured into two distinct phases. Phase 1 focuses on upgrading the Raw Water Pump Station to expand its capacity from 270 ML/day to 360 ML/day. Phase 2 involves enhancing the Potable Water Treatment capacity, also increasing from 270 ML/day to 360 ML/day.

The project which commenced in February 2023 and concluded in November 2025, will provide an increase into the system by an additional 800 million Litres per day as part of Magalies Water’s extensive augmentation plan to ensure future water security for Moses Kotane and Rustenburg Local Municipalities in North West, and Thabazimbi Local Municipality in Limpopo Province. .

Moreover, Minister Majodina will handover Phase 1 of the Makolokwe-Bethanie-Modikwe Bulk Water Pipeline Scheme worth an estimated project value of R 120 512 806.40. The project involves the construction and installation of a 23.4 km bulk potable water pipeline, stretching from the Kortbegrip Reservoir to the Bethanie and Modikwe Reservoirs.

The project which commenced in June 2022 and was completed on November 2025, intends to increase bulk water supply capacity to cater for the current and future demand of villages of Bethanie, Modikwa and Bareseba.

Phase 2 of the Project is planned to commence in March 2026 and will consist of a construction of a booster pumpstation at the Bethanie Reservoir and a Bulk Pipeline between Bethanie and Makolokwe Village.
