City advises of water supply disruption in Heritage Park area in Somerset West
6 February 2023
The City’s Water and Sanitation Directorate will be shutting off the water supply pipeline to the Bizweni and Rome Glen pump station in Somerset West from 09:00 until 16:00 on Wednesday, 8 February 2023. This will enable the maintenance team to safely replace the 600mm pump line pipe required to isolate the water supply network when the need arises. Read more below:
What residents need to know about planned water supply disruptions:
• Please store water in clean sealed containers for domestic use during this period.
• Please keep your taps closed to prevent any water loss and or damage when the water supply is restored.
• Careful consideration has been given to the planning of this work to ensure it is being done in a manner that is least disruptive to the water supply.
Alternative water supply will be rerouted to the affected areas and lower than usual water pressure may be experienced.
A water tanker will be roaming in the Heritage Park area to provide water for domestic use where required.
The City sincerely regrets any inconvenience caused, but it is imperative that it upgrades and maintains its water supply infrastructure to benefit its consumers.
Please be advised that all sites where water and sanitation repairs and upgrades are conducted are deemed to be construction sites and, as such are off-limits to members of the public.
