Our Team

Gamtoos Water has a staff complement of roughly 83 dedicated individuals who operate from Kouga Dam, 37km outside Patensie, to the Gamtoos River estuary. The main goal of the water users’ association is to deliver bulk water to agricultural and domestic users along the Kouga-Loerie sub-system.

Nurturing skills development is critical in ensuring the sustainability and effectiveness of the organisation. Our policy is to identify talent and to promote from within.
