Certain areas will undergo water shutdown for pipe leak repairs

by

The City of Tshwane’s Water and Sanitation Department is gearing up for crucial maintenance work aimed at addressing water supply challenges in certain areas.

On Tuesday, 9 April, a team of technicians will embark on repairing a major leak on a pipe that feeds water to the Meintjieskop and Hospital Reservoirs.

The repair work necessitates the temporary shutdown of the water supply to consumers directly served by the bulk pipeline. Unfortunately, this will result in an interruption affecting several areas.

Affected areas for water shutdown due to pipe leak repairs

These areas include:

  • Bryntirion (all extensions)
  • Capitol Park
  • Eastclyffe (all extensions)
  • Eastwood (all extensions)
  • Kilberry (all extensions)
  • Lisdogan Park (all extensions)
  • Rietondale (all extensions)
  • Riviera (all extensions)
  • Tshwane District Hospital

The water interruption in parts of Tshwane is scheduled to last for 8 hours from 8:30 to 16:00.

“The City of Tshwane apologises profusely for the inconvenience that may be caused as a result of the above mentioned shutdown of water supply,” said the City.
