The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality is currently experiencing difficulties supplying water to certain storage reservoirs due to a failure on a pipeline. This pipeline augments the supply currently being reduced due to Impofu dam being empty. This leaves the supply system with a deficit meaning storage levels are depleting at an increased rate. Contractors are currently executing repairs however it will take some time for the situation to stabilize again as reservoirs need to build up storage before certain pump stations can be started.
Areas that could experience low pressure or disruptions include:
- Parts of Walmer
- Walmer Downs
- Mangold Park
- Glen Hurd
- Newton Park
- Greenacres
- Parts of Cotsworld
- Parts of Schauderville
- Linkside
- Mill Park
- Parts of Central
- Mount Croix
- Perridgevale
- Deal Party
- North End
- Sydenham
The situation will be monitored and water tankers will be made available if reservoir storage levels deplete, their positions will be communicated throughout social media and can also be enquired from 0800205050. Consumers are requested to use water sparingly and not to stockpile, this will accelerate the depletion of storage.
UPDATE: The municipality has advised that they have now sourced two water tankers. One will be deployed to the Greenacres Hospital parking area and the other will be at the Newton Park Spar. Both will only be available from 19h00 onwards.
