How much it costs to replace a single manhole cover in South Africa | SA News

It costs approximately R850 to restore a single manhole cover in South Africa.

The City of Cape Town recently disclosed that its Water and Sanitation Directorate has spent around R2.4 million replacing missing sewer drain manhole covers.

This figure accounted for the period from July 2024 to May 2025 and involved the replacement of 2,824 manhole covers, working out to R849.85 per cover.

While this is lower than the previous year’s figure of 4,468, it is still a significant issue for Cape Town.
