Shutdown of the Blackheath Upper Reservoir water supply
3 February 2023
PLEASE NOTE: THIS WORK HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE
The City needs to urgently repair a leaking 1 525mm diameter pipeline along the Langverwacht Road in Zevenzicht. This will require that a section of the pipeline be shut off to enable the maintenance team to do the repairs safely. Alternate water supply will be rerouted to the affected areas. The work could result in possible disruptions to these areas such as lower than usual water pressure and possible brief discolouration due to the rerouting of water supply.
The City will shut down the Blackheath Upper Reservoir from Friday, 3 February 2023, at 18:00 until Sunday, 5 February 2023, at 06:00. The City suspects that the following areas could be affected:
- Kuils River
- Zevenwacht
- Protea Heights
- Lifestyle Estate
- Brackenfell
- Ruwari
- Private consumers along the Link Road pipeline
The City sincerely regrets any inconvenience, but it is imperative that it maintains and upgrades its water supply infrastructure to benefit its consumers. Residents who experience continued disruptions after the repairs are concluded can contact the City.
