City Wide Water Disruptions Continue

By

As part of the City’s drought intervention efforts, the Nelson Mandela Bay is currently developing the ground water system.

As of Monday 28 November 2022, the Municipality has been in the process of connecting ground water into the City’s reticulation system and hence the planned shutdown.

Although the seven-day shutdown of the Soccoman 1125mm diameter pipeline has led to low water pressure and water disruptions to a number of areas across the City, the groundwater will augment the City’s water supply in the near future.

During the shutdown a connection point for the Bushy Park Wellfield Project will be installed.

As planned, on November 28, 2022, the Soccoman pipeline was isolated and flow was temporarily redirected. This has caused a deficit in supply in certain areas as consumption continues to be high.

The Municipality is urging residents and businesses that have normal water supply to limit their water consumption to only what is absolutely necessary.

Additionally, during this period, individuals must strictly use less than 50 litres of water per day so that the scarce resource can be shared among all households and businesses.

The following areas are experiencing low pressure or water disruptions:

  1. Parts of Walmer
  2. Walmer Township
  3. Walmer Downs
  4. Walmer Heights
  5. Mangold Park
  6. Central
