The public are advised that there will be a water supply disruption to the Karl Bremer Hospital, the St. Johannis Lifestyle Estate, PetroSA, Bellville, Welgemoed, Brooklyn, Sanddrift, Tygerhof, Rugby, Century City, Paarden Eiland, Joe Slovo, Phoenix, Kensington, Acacia Park and Goodwood areas from Friday, 22 July 2022 at 18:00 until Sunday, 24 July 2022 at 22:00.

The City’s Water and Sanitation Directorate will be replacing two 535mm diameter outlet valves at its Tygerberg Reservoir, as well as replacing a 500mm diameter meter on the Bellville bulk water main and repairing a leak on the bulk water main in Frans Conradie Avenue on Friday, 22 July 2022 from 18:00 until Sunday, 24 July 2022 at 22:00.

This work will require the reservoir to be shut off as well as shutting down the 1 220mm diameter Tygerberg water pipeline between Giel Basson Drive and Jakes Gerwel Drive so the work can be done safely.

This work forms part of the City’s bulk water supply infrastructure maintenance programme.

This shutdown will affect the water supply in the above mentioned areas.

Planning has been done to minimise the possibility of water supply disruption to consumers during this period by rerouting water supply to the affected areas as far as possible. A number of activities in this regard has already commenced to achieve this. The three sets of repairs will be completed at different times within the shutdown period.

Although no significant water supply disruption other than lower than usual water pressure is anticipated, consumers in the affected areas are kindly requested to reduce their water consumption during this period to maintain available water supply and pressure in the pipe network until the repairs are completed.

The City sincerely regrets the inconvenience caused, and appreciates residents’ cooperation as it is imperative that it maintains its water supply infrastructure to the benefit of its consumers.
