Magalies Water Board is a regional water utility and state owned enterprise (SOE), which is accountable to the South African government via the Minister of the Department of Human Settlements, Water and Sanitation (DHSWS).
Magalies Water Board was formed in 1969, with the goal of supplying water to platinum mines in the Rustenburg and Thabazimbi areas.
Today, the company provides potable bulk water to municipalities, mines, and other businesses. Raw water is derived from the rivers, which comes from the dams owned by the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) – the dam water is then channeled to Magalies Water’s 4 water treatment plants, whereby the water is treated to be safe for consumption. Magalies Water has 2 major catchment areas which catches rainfall, namely Crocodile River and Pienaars River.
