The transformer supplying the pumpstation has failed and needs to be replaced. A replacement unit has been identified and will be dispatched to site. A team will start the replacement process immediately.
It is anticipated that the work will be completed by Wednesday, February 16th, 2022. Regular updates will be sent out as the work progresses.
The planned maintenance shutdown that was scheduled for Tuesday, February 15th, 2022, is being postponed so that water supply is not disrupted any further.

Kindly note that the water tankers may leave to refill however, they will return to the above locations.
