​

This work will result in the disruption of the water supply to the area in and around Firgrove Way, Rodgers Way, Welgelee Road, Bergendal Road and Soetvlei Avenue (bounded by Spaanschemat River Road and M3 - Simon Van Der Stel Freeway) during this period. 

The City sincerely regrets any inconvenience caused but must maintain its water supply infrastructure to benefit its consumers. Residents in the affected areas below are encouraged to take note of the work that will be taking place in their areas.

Zero-pressure testing and step testing are part of the installation process for pressure management technology. Tests are done in advance to see if any unmapped inflows need to be considered before installing smart pressure-reducing valves. 

In these affected areas, some residents may experience low water pressure, and some may have no water coming out of their taps for some time during this overnight testing period. It is impossible to predict which areas or streets will experience disruptions. 

Residents are kindly advised to store water in clean, sealed containers in advance for 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 City's Water Demand Management Strategy. Managing water pressure more effectively reduces the possibility of pipe bursts and water wastage.
