It will also deliver rentals ranging from approximately R700 to R10 000 per month across unit types, making it affordable for Cape Town families,’ said Councillor Carl Pophaim, Mayoral Committee Member for Human Settlements. </p><figure class="subtopic-fullsize-img"> <img class="responsive" src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Images%202/Salt%20River%20Market%202.png" alt="" /></figure> <p>The ceremonial handover of Salt River Market to the developer follows a complex, multi year social facilitation process to resolve unlawful occupation at the site. This included the relocation of 70 informal households to upgraded accommodation in the Maitland area in May 2026, as well as the previous resolution of commercial traders occupying the site.</p><p>‘Communicare plans to develop the ground-floor as retail, a piazza, day care and a sports field to create a vibrant public realm. A total of 300 Social Housing apartments will be added in seven storeys above ground, and 670 affordable housing apartments in nine storeys. The Salt River Hall will also be restored and preserved for its heritage value. Honouring the origins of the market, our development plans include making provision for the four long-standing fresh produce traders to continue to operate at the Salt River Market,’ said the Chairperson of Communicare, Mark van Wyk.</p><p> <br>Caption 1: Artists render of the concept development.<br><br>Caption 2: Handover (from left): Nolwandle Gqiba, Executive Director City of Cape Town Human Settlements Directorate, Mark van Wyk, Chairperson Communicare, Anthea Houston, CEO of Communicare, Mayco Member for Human Settlements, Councillor Carl Pophaim, Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis, City Councillor Ian McMahon.<br> <br> <br><strong>End</strong><br></p>2026-06-07T22:00:00Z1

Tests are done in advance to see if any unmapped inflows need to be considered before installing new infrastructure (such as pressure-reducing valves for pressure management).<br> <br>In these affected areas, some residents may experience low water pressure while some may have no water during the testing period. Unfortunately, it is not possible to predict which exact areas or streets will experience disruptions. <br> <br>Additional zone management investigations will be carried out to ensure that the existing infrastructure is operating effectively. Pressure fluctuations may be experienced, but every effort will be made to minimise the impact as far as possible.<br> <br>This work forms part of the City’s Water Demand Management Strategy. Managing water pressure more effectively reduces the possibility of pipe bursts and water wastage.<br>  <br>Residents are advised to store water in advance as a precautionary measure in clean, sealed containers for domestic use during this period.<br> <br><strong>Smart meter pre-installation survey (informative)</strong></p><p>The City of Cape Town has appointed PPD Engineering and Hardware Supplies to carry out site surveys ahead of installing smart water meters. Teams will be visiting selected properties in  Table View, Cape Town City Centre, Epping Industria 1, Stikland Industria, Blackheath Industria, Parklands, Eversdal, Tokai, Bellville CBD, Milnerton and Rondebosch from Monday, 8 June 2026, to Saturday, 13 June 2026, as part of this process.<br> <br>This forms part of the City’s programme to modernise water metering and improve how water is managed across Cape Town. Residents are encouraged to cooperate with the survey team where possible. Your participation will help ensure a smooth rollout of smart water meters in your area.<br> <br>The City sincerely regrets any inconvenience.<br><strong>  </strong><br><strong>What residents need to know about larger-scale planned water supply disruptions:</strong></p><ul><li>Careful consideration has been given to the planning of this work to ensure it is being done at a time that is least disruptive to the water supply.</li><li>All sites where water and sanitation repairs and upgrades are conducted are deemed to be construction sites and, as such, are off-limits to members of the public.</li><li>Sometimes the maintenance work can be more complex than anticipated, which means the work could take longer.</li><li>For a short period after the supply has been restored, the water may be discoloured or look milky. This is because of trapped air in the pipes. If left to stand in a glass, the appearance will become clear, like normal.</li></ul><p>For updates on the maintenance work (and location of tankers where applicable), follow @CityofCTAlerts which is a City of Cape Town X account.</p><p><strong>How residents are advised to prepare for planned water supply disruptions:</strong></p><ul><li>Store enough water in clean, sealed containers in advance for use during this period.</li><li>Keep your taps closed to prevent any water loss and/or damage when the water supply is restored. </li></ul>2026-06-07T22:00:00Z1
