UPDATE ON WATER DISRUPTIONS EXPERIENCED IN LARGE PARTS OF UITENHAGE
The repair was completed last night, and one of the reservoirs was already filling up this morning.
Once the reservoir reaches sufficient capacity, water will be pumped to higher-lying reservoirs serving Scheepershoogte, Valleisig, Winterhoek Park, parts of Fairbridge Heights, Strelitzia Park, Vanes Estate, and Rosedale.
However, there is still a leak where the pipe was repaired, necessitating another shutdown of the pipeline.
We hope that there will be enough time to fill reservoirs in advance.

PLANNED WATER SHUTDOWN OF THE SUMMIT/LOERIE PIPELINE TO REPAIR CRITICAL LEAKS

The shutdown will commence on Wednesday, September 8, 2021, and water supply is expected to be restored on Friday, September 10, 2021.
Storage reservoirs will be filled, but there is a chance that they will be depleted before the water supply is restored. Therefore, we urge residents to use water for essential purposes only during this period.
The following areas may experience low pressure or water disruptions:
1. Connections directly off the Summit pipeline
2. Van Staadens Village
3. Parts of Greenbushes
4. Parts of St. Albans
5. KwaNobuhle

The situation will be closely monitored, and water tankers will be made available if reservoir storage levels fall below a certain level.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience.
