For most of the residents in the south, a \u201ccowboy splash\u201d may be on the cards, following an appeal for residents to use water sparingly during planned maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several areas in the southern suburbs will experience water supply disruption for 72 hours, from Monday 24 June to Wednesday 26 June, with water supply set to be restored by Thursday morning<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
Due to the nature of the work involved, it requires the water supply to be shut off in the following areas for three consecutive days: <\/div>\n
\n
    \n
  • Wynberg<\/li>\n
  • Wetton<\/li>\n
  • Ottery<\/li>\n
  • Plumstead<\/li>\n
  • Diep River<\/li>\n
  • Southfield<\/li>\n
  • Elfindale<\/li>\n
  • Heathfield<\/li>\n
  • Retreat<\/li>\n
  • Steenberg<\/li>\n
  • Lavender Hill<\/li>\n
  • Seawinds<\/li>\n
  • Vrygrond<\/li>\n
  • Muizenberg<\/li>\n
  • Parkwood<\/li>\n
  • Lotus River<\/li>\n
  • Grassy Park<\/li>\n
  • Zeekoevlei<\/li>\n
  • Pelican Park<\/li>\n
  • Pelican Heights<\/li>\n
  • Peacock Close<\/li>\n
  • Eagle Park<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    The duration of the water supply disruption is due to  the size and scale of the pipe network,  the time it takes to clear the pipeline so it is safe for the maintenance team to work on and  the time is takes for the pipeline to fill afterwards to build up sufficient pressure to supply water across the affected network when the work is completed, says the City of Cape Town. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
