The City’s Water and Sanitation Directorate will be shutting down its Wemmershoek Water Treatment Plant from 00:00 on Monday morning 29 August 2022 until 24:00 on Tuesday, 30 August 2022 to do urgent routine maintenance. It was originally scheduled for shutdown earlier this month but had to be delayed to accommodate the emergency shutdown of the Faure Water Treatment Plant.

The areas that may be affected are parts of the Drakenstein and Stellenbosch Municipalities as well as private consumers along the Wemmershoek pipeline. They have however been informed to make the relevant arrangements.

Consumers in the Bloekoembos, Wallacedene, Kraaifontein, Brackenfell, Bellville and Durbanville areas are kindly requested to reduce their water consumption during this period to maintain available water supply and pressure in the pipe network and reservoirs until the repairs are completed.

The City sincerely regrets the inconvenience caused, and appreciates residents’ cooperation as it is imperative that it maintains its water supply infrastructure to the benefit of its consumers.
