The City of Cape Town’s Water and Sanitation Department will be carrying out necessary maintenance work on Thursday 19 April 2012. This will necessitate disruption to the water supply in the following two areas:
Bonteheuwel and surrounds
The Water and Sanitation Department will be installing a by-pass to the pressure management system on the main water supply to Bonteheuwel, Kalksteenfontein, Valhalla Park, Montana and Charlesville on Thursday 19 April 2012. This will assist in maintaining the water supply when maintenance work needs to be done on the pressure management system.
In order to carry out the installation work, the water supply to these suburbs will be disrupted and will result in Bontheuwel, Kalksteenfontein, Valhalla Park, Charlesville and Montana being without water between 09:00 and 16:00.
Schaapkraal, off Strandfontein Road, and surrounds
The Water and Sanitation Department will be doing three connections to the newly constructed water main that supplies the Schaapkraal area on Thursday 19 April 2012. This forms part of the Department’s infrastructure upgrade programme to improve the service delivery to residents.
In order to carry out the installation work, the water supply to Schaapkraal will be disrupted and will result in the area between Schaapkraal Road, Boundary Road, Schaap Road and Strandfontein Road being without water between 09:00 and 16:00.
When the water flow and pressure is restored in the aforementioned areas, there may be a brief period when the water is slightly discoloured.
Residents are advised to store drinking water in clean, sealed containers for domestic purposes.
Residents must ensure that their taps are properly closed during this period. Should the tap be inadvertently left open and the flow restored while they are away from home, damage could be caused and a considerable amount of water wasted.
The City wishes to apologise for any inconvenience caused, but it is essential that we improve our water supply infrastructure to the benefit of our consumers.
