City continues to ramp up pressure management for drought relief

On Thursday 1 February 2018, planned pressure management work is scheduled to take place from 20:00 to 04:00 in Green Point, Sea Point, the Waterfront and the areas bounded by Beach Road to the north, Seacliff Road to the west, Coen Steytler Road (Dock Road) to the east and High Level and Buitengracht Roads to the south. ‘The City thanks its residents for their cooperation in reducing water consumption thus far, and regrets any inconvenience this will cause but it is absolutely vital that we do try everything in our power to avoid Day Zero. ‘Not only does pressure management generally lower consumption by reducing the rate at which water flows to properties, it also reduces the risk of leaks and pipe bursts by better ensuring that pressure remains within levels that the pipework can tolerate, and reduces the rate of loss from leaks and bursts. We are doing absolutely everything in our power to help Team Cape Town to avoid Day Zero. We must lower consumption otherwise we will reach Day Zero. ‘We have identified 25 areas across the city that could benefit from this technology over the next three months, and contractors have been brought in to speed up the programme,’ said Councillor Xanthea Limberg, the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Informal Settlements, Water and Waste Services; and Energy. At all times careful consideration is being given to ensure minimal disruption to the water supply in the affected areas. Roll-outs to other parts of the metro will be communicated in due course. Please keep all taps closed and store 5 to10 litres of water for essential purposes during this time. Do not store an excessive amount of municipal water.View a map showing the area that will be affected by the <a href="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Centre%20Assets/C0203MD_%20D002%20Greenpoint%20Schematic%2022012018.pdf" target="_blank">pressure management work</a>.
