Pressure management work is to take place tomorrow, Wednesday 27 June 2018, from 20:00 to 04:00 in the broader Brooklyn area, which includes the Tygerhof, Brooklyn and Rugby areas and is bounded by Fortuna Road to the north, Milner Road to the west, Ratanga Drive to the east and Section Road to the south.

Work is also scheduled to take place in the Mountainside area on Thursday 28 June 2018 from 10:00 to 16:00. This broader area includes the Gordon’s Bay and Onverwacht areas and is bounded by Octopus Road to the north, St Croix Road to the west, Dennehof Drive to the east and Sir Lowry’s Pass Road to the south.

Other areas will be informed of supply disruptions in due course.

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.
