Possible water supply disruption due to planned maintenance in the Pella residential area, Atlantis

19 April 2021

The City’s Water and Sanitation Department will be conducting repairs on the bulk water supply line to the Pella residential area, Atlantis.  The work will take place from Thursday, 22 April 2021 at 08:00 until Friday, 23 April 2021 at 08:00. Read more below:

Residents of Pella can expect a reduction in the water pressure or possible disruption to their water supply due to maintenance later this week.  The work entails the replacement of a damaged section of the 600mm pipeline at the Pella reservoir, which feeds the Pella residential area.

The work will take place from Thursday, 22 April 2021 at 08:00 until Friday, 23 April 2021 at 08:00. 

Residents are advised to prepare by storing 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 reduce the possibility of pipe bursts, supply disruptions and water wastage in future.
