The City of Cape Town’s Water and Sanitation department has urged residents in the areas of Kommetjie, Noordhoek, Scarborough, Ocean View and Masiphumelele to cut down on their water consumption for the next 24 hours.

Farouk Roberston, Communications officer for the department said they are experiencing some mechanical difficulties with one of the pipes which supplies water to the areas mentioned above.

“We only have one pipe running through that area. We would like to assure that the reservoir remains at a suitable level to be able to supply water to the area.”

Robertson said their assistance would be greatly appreciated and would also like to apologise for any convenience.
