Sundays River Canal repair affecting water supply

By

It is the fourth day since the start of construction at the Sundays River Canal, as anticipated some areas have started experiencing intermitted water supply.

The canal repair started on Monday, 24 June 2024 when the breaking into the existing canal commenced.

During this time of repair, Nooitgedagt WTW supplies 50 Ml/d, a reduced amount from 210l/d. As a result of this decreased supply the areas of Motherwell, Wells Estate, Bluewater Bay, parts of Chatty, Kariega and Despatch were flagged as red zones for intermitted water supply.

Wells Estate, Perseverance and Fairbridge Heights have started to experience intermitted supply.

The Metro has already started mobilising additional alternative water resources in the form of water tankers to supply the areas that might be affected.

Please find the water tanker positions below:

  1. In Kareiga, corner of Van Riebeeck and Gavin Drive and Daniel Peinaar Street.
  2. In Wells Estate the positions are, in Nxuba Street, Elephant Park Informal Settlement, Council Street phase 1 and Epalini

During this time, it is critical that all residents and businesses drastically reduce water usage to mitigate the impact.
