The City of Cape Town Water and Sanitation will undertake a 75-hour operation on essential maintenance to its bulk water supply network on the Cape Flats.
This will result in no water and low water pressure in some
areas from 1a.m on Friday, 16 September 2022 until 3a.m on Monday, 19 September
2022.
Areas mostly affected are Pelican Heights,Peacock Close and
Schaapkraal. The City said that that there will be no water for 3 days in these
areas and that standpipes and water tanker will be provided in these areas for
essential water usage
The municipality said that areas such as
Browns Farm/Philippi, Eagle Park, Grassy Park, parts of Khayelitsha Site C,
Lavender Hill, Lotus River, Manenberg, Mitchells Plain, Muizenberg, Ottery,
Parkwood, Retreat, Seawinds, Steenberg, Strandfontein, Surrey Estate, Vrygrond,
Wetton and Zeekoevlei, will experience low water pressure, which may become a
'trickle flow' at times
PICTURE - CoCT: Areas affected by water maintenaceThe City’s Mayco member for water and sanitation, Zahid
Badroodien said “Water supply is being
rerouted from elsewhere in the network to these areas. All these areas will
have some water, but at lower than usual pressure,affected residents need to
get ready for this weekend. They can help prepare themselves by storing water
in clean, sealed containers and using water sparingly during this period, and
using other tips provided. From the City's side, we are doing all we can to
help by providing water tankers and standpipes to three areas that will have no
water”
