Vroeg Woensdagoggend is die Drakenstein-vallei in \u2019n chaos gedompel toe watervlakke n\u00e1 die stortre\u00ebn oornag vinnig gestyg en verskeie paaie oorstroom het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die oorstromings was as gevolg van \u2019n kombinasie van voortslepende re\u00ebnweer, die Bergrivierdam wat die afgelope twee weke oorloop, asook die sluise van die Wemmershoekdam wat gister geopen is nadat di\u00e9 dam ook vol geloop het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Bergrivier, wat die afgelope week reeds sterk vloei, se vlak het hier oornag geweldig gestyg en die rivier het vir die eerste keer in jare sy walle heeltemal oorspoel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met die plaaslike nooddienste wat sedert douvoordag op gereedheidsvlak was, is die Langstraatbrug in Noorder-Paarl vroeg Woensdagoggend vir verkeer gesluit as gevolg van die stygende rivier, so ook die Wellington-brug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Verskeie roetes, soos die R301, Bainskloofpas en Wemmershoek-pad tussen Paarl en Franschhoek asook gedeeltes van paaie in die dorp is weens oorstromings vir verkeer gesluit. Daar is ook probleme op die Simondium-pad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Verskeie dorpse paaie in die Paarl, Franschhoek en Wellington is verspoel wat gelei het tot verkeersopeenhopings en ure lange vertragings op besige roetes soos Jan van Riebeeck-weg en Oosboschstraat, terwyl die industri\u00eble gebied in die Paarl onder water was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Verskeie bronne beweer dat sommige werkers in die Paarlse industri\u00eble gebied aangeraai is om eerder tuis te bly, aangesien persele met water deurtrek is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Verskeie informele nedersettings in Paarl-Oos en Mbekweni is ook verspoel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Talle gevalle van verspoelings en modderstortings aangrensend aan die sterk vloeiende riviere is ook aangemeld. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Bergrivier is volgens inwoners die volste wat hulle hom al in jare gesien het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maandag (12 Junie) het 30 mm re\u00ebn uitgesak, gevolg deur 25 mm vir Dinsdag, terwyl Woensdagoggend se re\u00ebnval soveel as 50 mm opgelewer het, wat dit altesaam tot minstens 105 mm vir die week bring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
N\u00f3g swaar re\u00ebn is gister verwag en vir vandag voorspel en alle nooddienste is op gereedheidsbasis, waaksaam vir enige verdere vloed- of noodsituasies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In noodgevalle kan inwoners die munisipaliteit skakel by 080 131 3553 of vir uiterse noodgevalle die brandweer by 021 872 2323.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Bergrivier-opvangsgebied het teen Maandag (12 Junie) gestyg tot 83,10% teenoor 69,54% \u2019n jaar gelede. Die vlak van die Theewaterskloof\u00addam, die grootste opgaardam in die provinsie, het die afgelope week van 63,8% tot 76,6% gestyg en was 66,3% vol \u2019n jaar gelede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
