​Zero pressure testing will be taking place on:
 

• 19 June 2018: Blomtuin (Bellville CBD) between 20:00 and 04:00
• 21 June 2018: Sacks Circle (Bellville South) between 20:00 and 04:00
• 23 June 2018: Vierlanden, Durmonte, Klein Nederburg, Bergsig and Wellway Park in the Durbanville area

 
Pressure-related work is also planned to take place in the Kuils River and Eikenbosch areas on Thursday 21 June 2018 from 10:00 to 16:00. These areas are bounded by Langverwacht Road to the north, Foxhound Road to the west, Manhattan Road to the east and Simmons Road to the south.
 
The City has identified 25 areas across the city that could benefit from this technology over the coming months and contractors have been brought in to speed up the programme.
 
Not only does pressure management generally lower consumption by reducing the rate at which water flows to properties, it also reduces leaks and pipe bursts by better ensuring that pressure remains within levels that the pipework can tolerate, and reduces the rate of loss from leaks and bursts. 
 
Please store only up to 10 litres of water for essential usage if required. However, residents living in the affected areas are urged not to stockpile large volumes of municipal water. This is because if there are any significant service interruptions, they are not expected to be in effect for long periods.
 
Please also keep taps closed to prevent water damage in the event of water being restored after a disruption.
 
At all times careful consideration will be given to ensure minimal disruption to the water supply in the affected areas.
 
The City regrets any inconvenience caused.
