The Water and Sanitation Department will be completing construction work on the water supply feeding the Blackheath Industrial, Happy Valley and Sunbird Park areas.

The construction work will result in the disruption of the water supply on Wednesday 27 February 2019 between 19:00 and 00:00.

The water supply network across the City is divided into reticulation zones which are smaller and much more manageable sections of the large network for purposes of maintenance and upgrades. This work forms part of the City’s Water Demand Management Plan and will significantly reduce the occurrence of pipe bursts and subsequent water losses.

All taps must be kept closed during this period to prevent any water loss and/or damage when the water supply is restored.

Residents are kindly requested to store water in clean, sealed containers for use during this period.

The City apologises for any inconvenience that may be caused while conducting these emergency repairs. It is nonetheless imperative that the City maintains the water supply in good condition to ensure good quality drinking water to its residents.
