City advises of planned water supply disruption to Mamre and parts of Atlantis

12 May 2021

The City’s Water and Sanitation Department will be performing a test-shutdown of water supply to Mamre and parts of Atlantis on Friday, 14 May 2021 from 09:00 until 17:00. The City needs to ensure this can be done successfully, in preparation for critical planned maintenance the following week. Read more below:

The test will be conducted on the 600mm and 300mm Pella bulk water pipelines.

This will help ensure that  repair of a leaking coupling and the replacement of a faulty isolation valve can be successfully addressed the following week. 

Areas affected by the shut down will be Mamre, Saxonsea, Robinvale, Avondale and Protea Park.

Residents can expect a reduction in the water pressure or the possible disruption to their water supply as a result of this exercise. 

Residents are advised to store water in clean, sealed containers in advance and to ensure that their taps are left in the closed position during this period to prevent any water loss and/or water damage when the supply is restored.  A water tanker will be on standby in the area to provide water, where required, for domestic use.

The City regrets any inconvenience caused, however, this maintenance will help reduce and prevent water wastage.
