These areas in Cape Town will be without water this week for scheduled maintenance
The City’s Water and Sanitation Directorate will be doing planned work in the identified areas, which will result in water supply disruptions.
This critical maintenance work is done on our water supply infrastructure to benefit customers.
Residents in the affected areas are encouraged to take note of the work that will take place and prepare accordingly.
Zero-pressure tests (ZPT) and conditional assessments will be done on the water supply network in the following areas:
Thursday, 18 July 2024, from 09:00 until 17:00: Hout Bay - Valley Road, Longkloof Road, Boskykloof Road, Forest Hill, North Oaks Avenue, Chestnut Drive, Blackwood Drive and immediate surrounds will be affected.
Thursday, 18 July 2024, from 10:00 until 16:00: Vredekloof, Welgelee, Arauna, Morgenster, St Kilda, Marlborough Park, Brackenfell Industrial and Okavango Park
Residents need to please store enough water as a precautionary measure as this work will result in water supply disruption to these areas:
Heron Park, Blue Waters, Imhoffs Farm, Ocean View, Kommetjie, Scarborough, Masiphumelele
The water supply to parts of the Deep South will be shut off from 08:00 until 18:00 on Tuesday, 16 July 2024.
This will enable the maintenance team to safely replace a 400mm diameter valve on the main water supply pipeline and complete the connection of the newly installed pipeline to the existing water supply infrastructure.
Residents are kindly requested to store water in clean sealed containers in advance.
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
Maintenance work, including pipe and valve installations, repairs and replacements
