WATER UPDATE

June 5, 2022:

Currently, the reticulation system is slowly recovering and the Nooitgedagt Water Treatment Works, which supplies water to the Western Suburbs, is running at full capacity.

Unfortunately, water consumption is too high and no water is being stored.

Residents are urged to use water only for essential needs so that the system can fully recover overnight.

Residents are also asked not to fill rainwater tanks with municipal water, since this puts a great strain on the reticulation system. The process of filling a rainwater tank can use up to a month’s supply of water in one day, making it extremely difficult for the system to recover.

We apologise for the inconvenience caused.

UPDATE ON SHUTDOWN BY ESKOM THAT MAY CAUSE WATER DISRUPTIONS.

Most of the areas affected by the ESKOM shutdown at Nooitgedagt Treatment Works have recovered with an exception of the higher lying areas that are still busy recovering from low water pressure and water disruptions.

We ask that residents use water for essential purposes only to speed up the recovery of pressure to all areas.

We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused.

UPDATE ON SHUTDOWN BY ESKOM THAT MAY CAUSE WATER DISRUPTIONS.

The power supply at Nooitgedagt was restored at around 03:00 AM and the plant was then restarted.

The plant has since been on full production and storage levels throughout the Metro are gradually increasing.

Many areas are affected and therefore, residents will notice water supply returning from now until Friday.

Residents are urged not to stockpile water during the recovery period as this places a strain on the system and will result in an even longer recovery time.

Water trucks have been deployed to the below locations:

1) Roaming in Gelvandale

2) Hunters Retreat Spar

3) Kenako Mall

4) Sherwood Spar

5) Roaming in KwaZakhele/Zwide Tonjeni

6) Kamma Crossing Mall

7) Roaming in Malabar

8) Roaming in Helenvale

9) Roaming Hillside

We thank residents for their continued patience and apologize for the inconvenience caused.

PLANNED SHUTDOWNS MAY CAUSE WATER DISRUPTIONS IN PARTS OF THE CITY.

In an effort to reduce water leaks in the Metro, planned maintenance shutdowns will be taking place this week.

1. June 1, 2022.

Joe Slovo West

2. June 2, 2022.

Veeplaas – Konyana Street PRV

It is envisaged that water supply will be shut off between the hours of 08:00 and 16:00.

Residents and businesses are encouraged to please use water sparingly during this time period.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused.

UPDATE ON SHUTDOWN BY ESKOM THAT MAY CAUSE WATER DISRUPTIONS.

The Municipality wishes to update residents that power supply should return between 21h00 and 22h00 this evening.

Eskom has reported that the work is taking longer than expected. Residents that are currently consuming water are drawing it from the reticulation system. This means the system is depleting and will therefore take longer to fill once the power is restored to Nooitgedagt Treatment Works.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused.

STAGE 2 loadshedding
will be implemented from 17H00 to 22H00.

Monday, 30 May 2022

* 17H00 – 18H30: Group 14, 19
