Water supply to Summerstrand, Walmer, Humewood and Humerail and surrounds will be affected this afternoon due to a 525 mm diameter steel water pipe that was damaged by a contractor at the Port Elizabeth International Airport.
Work is under way and four water tankers will be deployed in the area. The municipality will fix the pipe and start with the necessary procedure to recoup damages from the relevant contractor. No time frame for the restoration of supply is available at this stage.
Residents can contact the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality’s 24 hour service delivery centre at 0800 20 50 50 if they would like to find out where the tankers are.

What is the timeframe for the repair? NMBM has had 18 hours to determine the how long this repair will take and we need to plan around this.
Can the communication department please communicate!
Asked and waiting Mike – it is deeply disappointing to me that the Communications Department also had a recent name change to the Propaganda Department!
It seems as though I could stand corrected – see update on water here: http://mype.co.za/new/2012/10/work-progressing-well-to-restore-water-supply-to-some-suburbs/
