The City’s Water and Sanitation Directorate is currently doing emergency repairs on the 300mm diameter water main to Simon’s Town and Dido Valley. This has resulted in the disruption of the water supply to the Simon’s Town and Dido Valley areas. The City sincerely regrets any inconvenience caused, but it is imperative that it maintains its water supply infrastructure to benefit its consumers. Residents in the affected areas below are encouraged to take note of the work that will be taking place in their areas.

What residents need to know about water supply disruptions:

Careful consideration has been given to the planning of this work to ensure it is being done in the shortest timeframe to eliminate the discomfort and inconvenience to the consumers.
All sites where water and sanitation repairs and upgrades are conducted are deemed to be construction sites and, as such are off-limits to members of the public.
Sometimes the maintenance work can be more complex than anticipated, resulting in it taking longer.
For a short period, after the supply has been restored, the water may be discoloured or look milky. This is because of trapped air in the pipes. If left to stand in a glass, the appearance will become clear, like normal.
For updates on the maintenance work (and the location of tankers where applicable), follow @CityofCTAlerts which is a City of Cape Town Twitter account.

Residents are kindly advised to do the following during water supply disruptions:

Keep your taps closed to prevent any water loss and/or damage when the water supply is restored.

The City sincerely regrets any inconvenience caused.
