The work will result in reduced water pressure and intermittent water supply to Brooklyn, Sanddrift, Tygerhof, Rugby, Century City, Paarden Eiland, Joe Slovo, Phoenix, Kensington and Acacia Park.

To minimise the impact of the shut down on residents, water will be diverted from other pipelines to ensure water supply to the affected areas, however, some areas may still experience reduced water pressure.  In addition to the valve replacement, technical teams will also use this opportunity to replace two faulty meters on this pipeline.

Residents are also advised to store water in clean, sealed containers in advance and to ensure that their taps are left in the closed position during this period to prevent any water loss and/or water damage when the supply is restored.

The City regrets any inconvenience caused, however this maintenance will ensure future stability and continuity of water supply to the area.
