The City of Cape Town hopes to restore water to the Southern Suburbs by Tuesday morning.
This after a leak was detected in the 915mm diameter bulk water main in Blackbird Avenue in Parkwood on Sunday, which is due to
a leak of an air valve that was vandalised.
SUPPLIED: CoCTMayco Member for water and sanitation, Zahid Badroodien, says its teams are in the process to remove the bulk water pipe. The new pipe, he says, is already on site.
‘’We have consulted with the ward councillors for tanker
locations and this will be communicated in due course. A list will be posted
here. At this moment there is no clear timeframe. The damage is quite
extensive. However, efforts are being undertaken to resolve this issue speedily
to safely restore the water by tomorrow morning. This is a changing estimate
and is not a final indication of repair completion timeline.’’
‘’We apologize for the inconvenience caused and appreciate
your understanding as we work diligently to repair the damage and protect our
water infrastructure,’’ added Badroodien.
