consecutive zero pressure tests on the main water supply to the Claremont,
Kenilworth, Newlands and Wynberg areas. This work will result in the disruption
of water supply to these areas on Tuesday 11 October, Wednesday 12 October and
Thursday 13 October 2022, from 21:00 until 04:00. The work is being done in
this manner due to the complexity of the water supply network in these areas. </span></em></strong><br></p> | <p></p><p>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. </p><p> </p><p>Residents are kindly advised to store water 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. </p><p> </p><p>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.</p><p> </p><p>The City sincerely regrets any inconvenience caused.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong>End</strong></p><p> </p><p><br></p> | 2022-10-06T22:00:00Z | GP0|#1d539e44-7c8c-4646-887d-386dc1d95d70;L0|#01d539e44-7c8c-4646-887d-386dc1d95d70|City news;GTSet|#62efe227-07aa-45e7-944c-ceebacca891d | | | | | GP0|#dd9b5445-92f0-4a44-9ca3-647380446295;L0|#0dd9b5445-92f0-4a44-9ca3-647380446295|Water disruption;GTSet|#2e3de6c1-9951-4747-8f53-470629a399bb;GPP|#8f4fc986-7316-49fe-aa93-6ae4c15611bf;GPP|#eea2ec5e-e535-4764-9094-bb6325d8d145;GP0|#6f9b381b-998f-47a0-b418-4836ea5ed211;L0|#06f9b381b-998f-47a0-b418-4836ea5ed211|Claremont;GTSet|#2e3de6c1-9951-4747-8f53-470629a399bb;GP0|#562c74c4-d304-412f-801a-49810311fdd7;L0|#0562c74c4-d304-412f-801a-49810311fdd7|Wynberg;GTSet|#2e3de6c1-9951-4747-8f53-470629a399bb | 1 | | | | | | | | | | | 0 |
