City advises of water supply disruption in the Mamre area

06 April 2021

The City’s Water and Sanitation Department will be installing a smart pressure reducing valve on the main water supply in the Mamre area tomorrow, Wednesday, 7 April 2021. Read more below:

This will result in the disruption of the water supply on Wednesday, 7 April 2021 from 11:00 until 17:00 in the Mamre area, affecting the residents located between Charel Uys Drive and Silverstream Road. 

This work should help reduce the likelihood of leaks and pipe bursts in the affected area in future. Smart pressure reducing valves help prevent pressure fluctuation in the City’s water network, which can weaken pipes over time. 

Residents are advised to prepare in advance for this disruption by storing water in clean sealed containers. We also implore residents to make sure 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.

The City regrets any inconvenience caused, however this device will reduce the possibility of pipe bursts, supply disruptions and water wastage in future.

End
