Mayoral Committee Member for Infrastructure and Engineering, Councillor Mongameli Bobani wishes to inform residents that two water supply zones remain affected with water disruptions.
The first being Chelsea zone affecting Malabar, Westering, Linton Grange, Sherwood, Hunters Retreat, parts of Rowallan Park, Parsons Vlei, and Greenbushes.
This zone is supplied by Chelsea reservoir which is currently at 7%. All pumps pumping water to the reservoir are working and currently the Municipality is trying to fill an empty system.
The second supply zone is Emeraldhill and the affected areas in this zone is Walmer Heights, parts of Lovemore park, Mount Pleasant, Miramar, Charlo, Walmer Downs, Overbaakens, Fairview and parts of Newton Park.
This zone is affected due to insufficient water into the system and an electrical fault on the pump station that pumps water into the reservoir.
The Municipality is waiting for the system and reticulation to fill up for everyone to have water.
Please note the City will continue to experience intermittent water disruptions as we have reached day ZERO and the demand outweighs the supply.
There is no significant rain predicted for the next three months and residents must continue to use only 50 litres per person per day.
The system is highly vulnerable as a result of overall demand of water outstripping supply. Residents are urged to only use water for essential purposes.
Operational failures will result in the collapse of the system.
As a continuity plan, water tankers will be deployed. The locations of these tankers will follow shortly.
The Municipality apologises for any inconvenience caused.
