19 December 2024, 07h20

The city needs 250ML to supply all areas and currently only getting half of that into our system as a whole as per info received from NMBM.

It looks like they are trying to send water in different directions from one reservoir to the other and back again to keep most people on.

Under the current conditions, this cannot be sustained for long periods which means the reservoirs cannot recover fully.

This leads to outages at the higher lying areas of a supply zone and is currently the case in the Seaview area.

This will also affect the Colleen Glen zone and Greenbushes zone, it is estimated to continue until 22 December 2024.

‼️NB‼️
WATER DISRUPTION ACROSS THE METRO.
18 December 2024, 15h00

The below can have an impact on various areas across Ward 40. Please only use water for sanitation, cooking and drinking purposes over the next 3-days where possible in order to minimize the chances of going without water.

As received from NMBM:
The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality wishes to inform residents of a water supply disruption currently affecting the reservoir zones as stated below. There will be potential water supply shortages over the next 48 to 72 hours.

The water supply systems below are currently experiencing reduced output.
1. Loerie Water Treatment Works:
Due to a malfunction in the filter bank, the plant’s output has been reduced from 70 million liters per day (Ml/d) to 35 Ml/d.

2. Nooitgedagt Water Treatment Works:
Urgent repairs by the Water User Association operating the system have delayed the release of water supply into the Scheepersvlakte Balancing Dam, which supplies the Nooitgedagt Water Treatment Works. Consequently, the average plant output has decreased from 190 Ml/d to approximately 100 Ml/d.

This has an impact on the water availability in the Metro as the combined reduction in available water totals to 135 Ml/d. Recovery efforts, including repairs at Loerie Water Treatment Work and refilling the Scheepersvlakte Dam, are expected to take at least 48 hours, with full system stabilization occurring thereafter.

The main affected distribution reservoirs currently have critically low water storage as indicated below.
• Motherwell: 15%
• Chelsea: 15%
• Greenbushes: 13%

We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused.

Jason Grobbelaar

When a group of good people come together and roll up their sleeves, amazing things happen!

A huge thank you to the Environmental Action Group and all the generous sponsors who made it possible to provide 20 additional drums for the coastline from Kini Bay to Maitlands.

This initiative will play a significant role in reducing the anticipated annual increase in litter along our beautiful coast.

Let’s keep working together for a cleaner, greener environment!

A big thank you to Errol (Kinibay Ward 40 Committee member) for organizing a water point for the Kinibay residents, and to Mr. Fouche for providing his filtered tank water.

Although Kinibay was the first to feel the impact of the burst pipe repairs, they can now fill their containers with this incredible water.

The repairs are expected to be completed by late early evening today. The pipe will then slowly fill overnight to prevent damages, with supply to Seaview and Kinibay areas to return to normal during the course of tomorrow (Friday, 6 December).

If anyone in or around the Seaview area is able to provide a similar water source, please let me know via WhatsApp on 084 338 8902, and we can inform those who are still without water.

This water tastes amazing!
