The City of Cape Town’s Water and Sanitation department would like to inform the community of Summer Greens of a water pipe that burst in the area this morning.

The City’s Farouk Robertson says that workers have been deployed to repair the burst pipe. He says that the operation is only expected to be complete by late afternoon.

Robertson said that because of this, the water supply to the area will be shut down.
“It is expected that the work will be completed by about 16h00, said Robertson. “We would like to apologise for the inconvenience caused.”

He requests that residents and water consumers in the area ensure that all taps are turned off to prevent no water loss during this period.
