water maintenance to disrupt supply across Cape Town"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>The City of Cape Town has announced a series of<a href=\"https:\/\/www.capetown.gov.za\/Pages\/City-Alerts.aspx\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.capetown.gov.za\/Pages\/City-Alerts.aspx\"> planned water supply disruptions<\/a> across multiple areas from 7 to 10 April as part of ongoing infrastructure maintenance and upgrades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The City\u2019s Water and Sanitation Directorate says the work is essential to ensure long-term reliability of the water network, although it will result in temporary outages, low pressure, and intermittent supply in affected areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Residents are strongly encouraged to store sufficient water in clean, sealed containers ahead of the scheduled maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-multiple-areas-affected-across-the-metro\">Multiple areas affected across the metro<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Several suburbs will experience full water shutdowns or disruptions at different times during the maintenance period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parts of Parkwood Estate, Fairways and Ottery will have no water from 09:00 to 16:00 on Tuesday 7 April, while sections of Oranjezicht will be without water from 08:00 to 20:00 on the same day due to valve replacements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Wednesday 8 April, Grassy Park residents can expect intermittent disruptions, while parts of Bergvliet will face a full shutdown from 09:00 to 19:30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Widespread areas including Athlone, Rylands, Crawford and surrounding suburbs will experience reduced pressure and intermittent supply as pressure-reducing valves are upgraded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-extended-outages-and-pressure-drops-expected\">Extended outages and pressure drops expected<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In a larger-scale operation, areas including Milnerton, Kensington, Maitland, Parow and Century City are expected to face low water pressure or no supply from 09:00 on Thursday 9 April until 09:00 on Friday 10 April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is to allow for the replacement of a major valve along Frans Conradie Drive in Parow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Water tankers will be deployed where necessary, and residents are urged to use water sparingly where supply remains available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-testing-and-assessments-to-impact-supply\">Testing and assessments to impact supply<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional zero-pressure testing will be conducted in Parow and Elsies River on Wednesday 8 April, between 09:00 and 16:00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These tests form part of the City\u2019s water demand management strategy and may result in low pressure or no water in some areas, although it is not possible to predict exactly which streets will be affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-residents-urged-to-prepare\">Residents urged to prepare<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The City has advised residents to take precautions ahead of the disruptions, including storing water, keeping taps closed during outages, and being aware that water may appear discoloured briefly once supply is restored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Officials emphasised that while every effort is made to minimise inconvenience, maintenance work can sometimes take longer than expected due to complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The City has apologised for any inconvenience and encouraged residents to follow official communication channels for updates on maintenance progress and water tanker locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ ALSO: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/western-cape-water-levels-drop-dws-urges-residents-to-conserve-water\/\" type=\"link\"
