Most of Grahamstown East, the CBD and parts of Rhodes University were left without water, while water pressure in other parts of the city was miserably low.

Makana Municipality assisted by Amatola Water and other municipalities moved swiftly to try and resolve the water disaster, which could prove a major blow to the Grahamstown Arts festival.

By midmorning today, the municipality reported that the failure of a gland follower in the second pump on the non-drive end had caused the flooding.


Meiring said the municipality was treating the situation as a disaster.
