The City’s Water and Sanitation Directorate will do a dummy shut-off on the 300mm diameter reticulation water main along Alexander Road in Ndabeni on Friday, 17 February 2023, from 08:30 until 12:00. This is in preparation for a future shut-off to connect new infrastructure to the existing network. It may temporarily disrupt the water supply to Ndabeni, a section of Pinelands, Garden Village and the Vincent Pallotti Hospital.
What residents need to know about planned water supply disruptions:
• Please store water in clean sealed containers for domestic use during this period.
• Please keep your taps closed to prevent any water loss and or damage when the water supply is restored.
• Careful consideration has been given to planning this work to ensure it is being done at a time that is least disruptive to the water supply.
The dummy shut-off will assist in determining how best to minimise the areas and the impact on the consumers when the actual shut-off is done. Residents will be informed timeously ahead of the actual shut-off.
Consumers may experience lower-than-usual water pressure or no water for a brief period.
The City sincerely regrets any inconvenience caused but must explore opportunities within its water supply infrastructure network to benefit its consumers.
