City advises of water supply disruption to part of Constantia

26 April 2022

Zero-pressure testing is part of the installation process for pressure management technology

​

Zero-pressure testing is part of the installation process for pressure management technology. Tests are done to see if there are any unmapped inflows that need to be taken into account before smart pressure reducing valves (PRVs) are installed.
 
Residents are advised to store water upfront in clean, sealed containers for use during this period and to ensure that their taps are closed to avoid water loss and/or damage when the supply is restored.
 
The City regrets any inconvenience caused. However, 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.
