Residents of Mabopane, Morula View and Winterveldt will be affected by water supply interruption from 04:00 on Wednesday December 12 until 00:00 on Thursday December 13 2018.
Mr Lindela Mashigo, Media Director at the City said the shut-down is necessitated by the need to connect a newly installed 1 200 mm steel pipe to an existing one at the Mabopane main reservoir outlet. “However, this scheduled work requires the City to completely shut-down the water supply,” Mr Mashigo said.
The following areas will be affected, Mabopane, Morula View and Winterveld. During the shutdown, roaming water tankers will supply residents with water.
He said as in the case of maintenance and upgrading work, the connection of the newly installed pipe is expected to lessen unplanned maintenance, limit possible pipe burst and improve water supply in the area. The installation will also reduce constant major repairs that results in water interruption and reduce areas that will be affected with no water when there is a major pipe burst.
