The City of Cape Town\u2019s Water and Sanitation Directorate<\/a> will carry out planned work in the identified areas, which will result in water-supply disruptions. This critical maintenance work is done on water-supply infrastructure to benefit customers. Residents in the affected areas are encouraged to take note of the work and prepare accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Residents are advised to store enough water in advance as a precautionary measure. Water should be stored in clean, sealed containers. This precaution does not guarantee all residents will experience a water disruption, but it aims to ensure they can prepare if one does occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The City’s Water and Sanitation Directorate advises that the Faure Water Treatment Plant RSE Pipeline has been shut down to accommodate repairs to a newly installed RSE inlet valve at the Faure Water Treatment Plant. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The RSE pipeline has been scoured and is empty. The pipeline will be recharged from Tuesday 5 May at 23:59 once repairs to the inlet valve have been completed. In this period, all private consumers supplied via the RSE pipeline between the RSE offtake valve and the Faure Water Treatment Plant will be affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Blackheath Water Treatment Plant will be shut down to accommodate necessary maintenance at the plant. The planned shutdown is scheduled for Wednesday 6 May from 07:00 to Sunday 10 May at 23:59. This shutdown will significantly reduce the overall production capacity of the bulk water system. Residents across the city are therefore requested to use water sparingly during this period and to limit usage to essential purposes only, to help maintain system stability and protect bulk water storage levels while the maintenance is underway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Housing Project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Due to the construction of the Housing Project in Delft and the contractor requiring approximately 12 tie-ins to the City\u2019s water main, it will temporarily shut off the water supply to parts of Delft on Tuesday 5 May from 08:00 until 17:00 and Thursday 7 May from 08:00 until 17:00. The affected area includes Delft 1 and Delft 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The City will also temporarily shut the water supply to part of Eureka Estate, Elsies River, bounded by 35th Street, Connaught Road, 42nd Avenue and Owen Road off on Wednesday 6 May from 09:00 to 18:00. This will allow a City-appointed contractor to connect the newly laid water main to the existing water mains along Connaught Road. The area will have no water during this period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be ready<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What residents need to know about larger-scale planned water-supply disruptions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Careful consideration has been given to the planning of this work to ensure it is being done at a time that is least disruptive to the water supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– All sites where water and sanitation repairs and upgrades are conducted are deemed to be construction sites and, as such, are off-limits to members of the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Sometimes the maintenance work can be more complex than anticipated, which means the work could take longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– For a short period after the supply has been restored, the water may be discoloured or look milky. This is because of trapped air in the pipes. If left to stand in a glass, the appearance will become clear, like normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For updates on the maintenance work (and location of tankers where applicable), follow @CityofCTAlerts which is a City of Cape Town X account. How residents are advised to prepare for planned water supply disruptions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Store enough water in clean, sealed containers in advance for use during this period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Keep your taps closed to prevent any water loss and\/or damage when the water supply is restored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
