City advises of emergency repairs on the water supply main affecting Valhalla Park, Kalksteenfontein and Montana

30 November 2023

The City’s Water and Sanitation Directorate will be doing emergency repairs to a severely leaking 225mm diameter water main in the vicinity of the Valhalla Drive from 09:00 until 18:00 on Thursday, 30 November 2023. This will require that the water supply to these areas be shut off to enable the maintenance team to do the repairs safely.  

The Water and Sanitation maintenance team will be repairing a severely leaking 225mm diameter water pipeline which will result in the disruption of the water supply to these areas.   

The necessary precautions have been taken to try and limit the impact as far as possible.

Residents in these areas are kindly requested to store enough water upfront for domestic consumption during this period and ensure that their taps are closed to prevent water loss and/or damage when the water supply is restored.

Water tankers will be roaming through these areas to provide water for domestic consumption.

The City sincerely regrets any inconvenience caused, but it is imperative that it maintains its water supply infrastructure to benefit its customers.

End
