The City’s Water and Sanitation Directorate, as part of its routine maintenance programme, will be doing repairs and replacing plumbing infrastructure at the Newlands Spring in Main Road, Newlands on Friday, 17 June 2022. As a result, this facility will be temporarily inaccessible to the public from 09:00 until 16:00 as the Spring water flow will be diverted during this period to enable the maintenance work to be done safely and unhindered.

The Newlands Spring in Main Road is one of the most frequently visited springs in Cape Town with people coming from all over the city to collect their supply of spring water.

The facility is open daily from as early 05:00 in the morning until 23:00 at night to provide sufficient access to consumers of this water source.

‘The Newlands Spring water facility will, however, be closed temporarily to the public from 09:00 until 16:00 on Friday, 17 June 2022 to enable the maintenance crew to do the necessary repairs and replace the plumbing infrastructure. We know that people love to frequent the facility to stock up on their favourite spring water and we sincerely apologise for the temporary disruption in the supply. The repairs, however, are necessary to sustain the spring water supply for the consumers,’ said Councillor Zahid Badroodien, Mayoral Committee Member for Water and Sanitation.

The City sincerely regrets any inconvenience caused.
