The City’s Water and Sanitation Directorate will be shutting off the water supply to Lakeside, Muizenberg, St James, Kalk Bay, Clovelly and Fish Hoek from 20:30 on Thursday, 18 August 2022 until 05:00 on Friday, 19 August 2022. This will allow the maintenance teams to service, repair and replace the identified faulty fire hydrants along Main Road as well as a faulty bulk water meter in Muizenberg. The work will result in the disruption of the water supply to these areas.

The water supply to Lakeside, Muizenberg, St James, Kalk Bay and Clovelly will be shut off while Fish Hoek may experience low water pressure.

Careful consideration has been given to the planning of this work to specifically schedule it to happen during a period that is least disruptive to the residents and businesses alike in the area.

Residents are kindly advised to store water upfront in clean, sealed containers for domestic use during this period and to ensure that their taps are closed to avoid water loss and/or damage when the supply is restored.

‘This work forms part of the Water and Sanitation Directorate’s reticulation maintenance and upgrade programme, which addresses the maintenance and enhancement of the water supply network, in particular the distribution system for supplying water to our consumers. It also ensures the effective operation of fire hydrants when required. We sincerely regret any inconvenience caused to the consumers in these areas, but it is a necessity that has to be done soonest,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Water and Sanitation, Councillor Zahid Badroodien.
