The water in the vicinity of the leak will be pumped out once the pressure in the pipeline has dropped. This will allow the maintenance team to remove the leaking pipe section and replace it with the fabricated section.

Residents are kindly requested where possible to store water upfront in clean sealed containers for domestic use during this period and to ensure their taps are closed to prevent any water wastage and/or damage when the water supply is restored.

Water tankers will be roaming through the areas to provide water for domestic purposes where required. Covid-19 measures will apply when collecting water from the tankers.

The City sincerely regrets any inconvenience, but it is imperative that it maintains and upgrades its water supply infrastructure to benefit its consumers.

Please visit the City Alerts twitter page or consult your ward councillor for updates including the water trucks delivery service.
