Vaal Central Water Embraces New Beginnings with a Distinctive Logo

The directive from the Minister of Water and Sanitation has led to the integration of Sedibeng Water with Bloem Water and a new era commenced under the banner of Vaal Central Water. This strategic consolidation has expanded the service area to include the Northern Cape and Free State Province, fostering a new identity and visual mark signified by the introduction of a contemporary logo.

The transition is overseen by a newly appointed Board of Directors, instated in September 2023 by the Minister tasked with steering the Entity towards a sustainable future. The Board, chaired by Advocate Msibi and Deputy, Advocate Bomela, comprises 12 members distinguished by their extensive experience and specialised skills.

With this expansion and renaming, the Entity is delighted to present the new logo, a visual testament to its growth and renewed commitment to excellence in water provision. The following changes are part of this rebranding effort and are effective immediately:

Email Correspondence: Email addresses have transitioned to the new domain: [@vcwater.co.za]. While existing email usernames will be retained, stakeholders are encouraged to adopt the new format for future communications. Redirects from old email addresses will remain active until March 2024.

Website Redesign: The web presence of Vaal Central Water is evolving, with a new address set at www.vaalcentralwater.co.za. The website is currently under development, aiming to offer an enhanced user experience and comprehensive information access.

For inquiries, feedback, or comments, stakeholders are directed to use the dedicated communication channel at communications@vcwater.co.za, engage through the Facebook page: @Vaal Central Water, or connect via telephone at (051) 403 0800. The support and cooperation of all stakeholders are greatly appreciated during this transformation phase.

Bloem Water is now Vaal Central Water

The Entity is pleased to announce that, considering the recent change of name gazetted by the Minister of Water and Sanitation, it is undergoing rebranding, including a new logo and complete transformation into a new corporate identity and image. The goal is to demonstrate the Entity’s dedication in its extended areas by providing clean, safe, and reliable portable bulk water services in the Northern Cape and Free State.

Vaal Central Water wants to reassure its stakeholders that the quality and reliability of the services will remain unaffected while undergoing the rebranding process. The Entity is fully committed to delivering the same excellent service and maintaining the expected water management standards.

All the necessary touchpoints will be updated, including the communications platforms, website, and signage with the new corporate image. Phone numbers and email addresses will remain unchanged, ensuring uninterrupted communication with the valued stakeholders.

Stakeholders will be kept abreast of any changes in the process of rebranding. The team will be available to provide the appropriate support if you have any questions.
