Water supply shutdown of about 87 hours to affect parts of Tshwane

The City of Tshwane says a major planned shutdown of water supply by Rand Water is expected to last for about 87 hours.
The city said the water utility’s technicians will conduct a tie-in of the newly constructed B6 pipeline to the existing B6 pipeline at Garthdale in the Midvaal area.
“The connection work is planned to start at 9.30am on August 19 and will last until August 23 at 1am,” said the city’s spokesperson Lindela Mashigo.
Mashigo said during the shutdown, Rand Water’s Palmiet booster station will supply residents with a smaller percentage of water than the usual capacity.
“Residents are advised to use water sparingly to prevent reservoirs running dry. They should also ensure they store sufficient water to sustain them for the duration of the shutdown,” he said.

Mashigo said the city will ensure tankers or bowsers are on standby for alternative water supply.
“The City of Tshwane apologises profusely for the inconvenience that may be caused by the shutdown,” Mashigo said.
About 34 reservoirs might be affected. Reservoirs and areas that might be affected by the shutdown are:
Amandasig (all extensions), Beetgesberg 279-JR, Chantelle (all extensions), Florauna, Hartbeeshoek (all extensions), Heatherdale AH, Heatherview (all extensions), Ninapark (all extensions), Plantland 567-JR, Witfontein 301-JR and Zandfontein 317-JR
