City advises of traffic disruption and possible water supply disruption in Bellville

11 November 2022

The City’s Water and Sanitation Directorate will be diverting traffic from the South-heading lanes of Bill Bezuidenhout Avenue between Old Paarl Road and Chrismar Street in Bellville from 08:00 until 18:00 on Sunday, 13 November 2022. This will allow the maintenance team to safely conduct maintenance on a valve situated on the North corner of Bill Bezuidenhout Avenue and Old Paarl Road. No water supply disruptions are expected to occur as a result of the work. However, De La Haye, Stikland, Saxon Industrial, Sacks Circle, Greenlands, Loumar, Meyerhof, Shirley Park, Marinda Park, Sirroccos, Glenhaven, Labiance, Belrail, and Sanlamhod in Bellville South may be affected should there be complications.

We’ve carefully considered this work to ensure minimal disruption to the residents and request that residents make use of alternative routes for the duration of the maintenance work.

Residents should store sufficient water upfront in clean, sealed containers for domestic use during this period and ensure that their taps are closed to avoid water loss and damage when the supply restores, should a water disruption occur.

The City sincerely regrets any inconvenience caused, but it must upgrade and maintain its water supply infrastructure to benefit its consumers.

Water and Sanitation repairs and upgrade sites are construction sites and, as such, are off-limits to members of the public.
