City advises of water supply disruption in Big Bay, Dune Ridge, Blouberg Hills Estate, Sandown Estate, Blouberg Beach and Melkbosstrand

The City’s Water and Sanitation Directorate will be conducting zero pressure tests on the main water supply to the Big Bay, Dune Ridge, Blouberg Hills Estate, Sandown Estate, Blouberg Beach and Melkbosstrand areas. This work will result in the disruption of water supply to these areas from 22:00 on Monday, 12 September 2022, until 04:00 on Tuesday, 13 September 2022.

Zero-pressure testing is part of the installation process for pressure management technology. Tests are done to see if there are any unmapped inflows that need to be taken into account before smart pressure reducing valves are installed.Consumers are kindly advised to store water upfront in clean, sealed containers for use during this period and to ensure that their taps are closed to avoid water loss and/or damage when the supply is restored.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.The City sincerely regrets any inconvenience caused.
