The Water and Sanitation Department is currently trying to locate a pipe burst in Fish Hoek that has resulted in Echo, Highway and Hillside roads and immediate surrounds in Fish Hoek currently experiencing an interruption in their water supply.

The department’s Farouk Robertson says they suspect this to be as a result of an underground pipe burst.

However, he assured that technicians are at the site trying to locate the problem.

A water tanker has been sent to the area to supply residents with water for domestic consumption.

Residents in the affected area are asked to be patient and to ensure that the taps are closed during this period to avoid water loss or damage when the water supply and pressure is restored.
