City advises of water supply disruption to Ocean View

2 December 2022

The City’s Water and Sanitation Directorate will be shutting off the water supply to Ocean View on Tuesday, 6 December 2022, from 08:00 until 16:00. This will enable the safe completion of construction work on the main water supply to the area and will result in the disruption of water supply to areas of Ocean View East of Milky Way.

​The work involves the isolation of the old water pipeline along Milky Way. This will ensure connection and optimal operation of the newly installed pipeline along Milky Way.

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 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, but it is imperative that it upgrades and maintains its water supply infrastructure to benefit its consumers.
