INTERMITTENT WATER DISRUPTIONS MAY OCCUR DUE TO CRITICALLY LOW RESERVOIR LEVELS
The Municipality wishes to update residents that our bulk storage reservoirs are slowly climbing however, any unexpected event could still result in disruptions as storage levels are still critically low.
Residents that receive water directly from bulk water pipelines fed from Kouga dam are still experiencing some disruptions as this is the highest point on the water network and storage will only build up once the rest of the system has been restored.
Residents are reminded that supply from the Kouga dam has been restricted by 70% as the dam is currently at 6.4%
Areas that could be affected include:
1. Thornhill
2. Wedgewood
3. Consumers on bulk line in Greenbushes
4. Kwanobuhle
Water tankers will be dispatched to areas affected and will be communicated shortly.
We urge all residents to continue using water sparingly.
We apologise for the inconvenience caused.
