The City’s Water and Sanitation Directorate will be doing emergency repairs to a severely leaking 350mm diameter water main in the vicinity of the Somerset West Country Golf Course.
The Water and Sanitation maintenance team will be repairing a severely leaking 350mm diameter water pipeline which will result in the disruption of the water supply to these areas.
The necessary precautions have been taken to try and limit the impact as far as possible.
Residents in these areas are kindly requested to store enough water upfront for domestic consumption during this period and ensure that their taps are closed to prevent water loss and/or damage when the water supply is restored.
