The City of Cape Town’s Water and Sanitation Department will be tying in the new upgraded section of the water main to the existing main water supply line to Ravensmead on Tuesday, 30 October 2012.
As a result, the water supply in the area will be disrupted from 19:00 until midnight on 30 October 2012. This intervention period has been selected in an effort to minimise the impact on consumers.
The area between Florida and Bertha Streets (west to east) and 16th Avenue and Roberts Street (south to north) will be affected.
The work forms part of the City’s infrastructure upgrade programme which is aimed at improving the integrity and connectivity of the local reticulation network in Ravensmead.
Residents are kindly requested to store sufficient water in clean, sealed containers for their domestic use during this period.
A water tanker will be be placed at the Primary School in Webner Street in the event of residents requiring water for domestic consumption.
Residents are also reminded that, although the City has made all efforts to shut down the water supply by closing various valves for this purpose, they should treat the water supply to or on their premises as uninterrupted (normal) and be cognisant of the fact that unattended open taps could lead to water wastage and possible damage to property once the water supply resumes.
The City wishes to apologise for any inconvenience caused. It is imperative that the Water and Sanitation Department maintains its water supply infrastructure to ensure the continued supply of quality drinking water to residents.
