Update on water supply disruption to part of Southfield

09 June 2022

The City’s Water and Sanitation Directorate concluded the installation of the new sections of pipes yesterday, Wednesday, 8 June 2022 with no water supply disruption during these activities as originally intended. The water supply will however be shut off to part of Southfield on Friday, 10 June 2022, from 08:00 until 18:00. This will enable the safe connection of the newly installed pipe sections to the existing local water supply network for the area. It will result in the disruption of the water supply to the area bounded by Pretorius, Dirkie Uys, Bergzig, Wolmarans Streets, Prince Royal Road, and Prince George Drive.

The overall project involves replacing a few lengths of pipe of the existing water supply network in Concord Street as per the Water and Sanitation Directorate’s criteria for pipe replacement.

Residents are kindly advised to store water upfront in clean, sealed containers for domestic 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 Water and Sanitation Directorate’s pipe replacement and upgrade programme which addresses the need for water supply network upgrades, in particular the distribution system to the consumers.

The City sincerely regrets any inconvenience caused.
