REDUCED WATER SUPPLY TO THE EMERALD HILL 

The City wishes to advise residents that the scheduled maintainance work at the KwaNobuhle pump station regrettably took longer than anticipated. However, work was completed last night and the pipes are once again being filled.

Unfortunately, due to the severe constraints of the drought, this short disruption has caused some reservoirs to drop to critically low levels.

The situation has also been worsened by a pump breakdown at Schoenmakers Kop pump station. Teams are currently on-site to execute repairs.

We therefore ask that all residents to keep their water consumption to a minimum so that storage can build up.

It is envisaged that supply will be restored during the course of the morning, however it could take until tomorrow morning for storage to build sufficiently.

The following areas may experience low water pressure or water disruptions:

1. Parts of Walmer
