Water disruptions in Strand due to maintenance

The City’s Water and Sanitation Directorate will be doing planned maintenance work in identified areas, across the Cape Metropole, which will result in water supply disruption tomorrow, Tuesday December 10, and the Strand is one of the affected areas.

The maintenance work includes pipe and valve installations, repairs and replacements.

According to a City statement, the critical work done is to improve infrastructure affecting the water supply of City customers. The City urges residents in the affected areas to take note of the work that will take place and prepare accordingly.

Residents are advised to store enough water in advance, as a precautionary measure. Water should be stored in clean, sealed containers.

To further prepare for the water disruption, residents are urged to keep all taps closed to prevent any water loss and/or damage when the water supply is restored.

As a result of the planned maintenance work, the water supply will be disrupted in Strand tomorrow. The water supply will be shut off from 8am to 5pm.

“This will allow the maintenance team to connect the newly installed water mains in Munnik Street and Joubert Street in Strand to the existing infrastructure. The whole of Strand will be affected.

“The impacted area could unfortunately not be reduced due to passing valves in the water supply network. Affected consumers are kindly requested to store enough water in clean, sealed containers in advance,” said the City in a statement.

Residents can follow the City’s social media pages for updates on the maintenance work (and location of tankers where applicable), follow the channels @CityofCTAlerts which is a City of Cape Town X account.
