Cape Town – Residents in the Bellville area have been advised by The City of Cape Town’s Water and Sanitation Department of a disruption to their water supply due to urgent repairs on a water pipeline.
The City’s Water and Sanitation Department has to do these repairs on its 450mm diameter water supply main supplying a large portion of the Bellville area because of a leak.
The repairs will be conducted between tonight, Thursday August 12 from 7pm until 7am tomorrow, Friday August 13.
The following areas will be affected:
- De La Haye (Belgravia),
- Bellville CBD (south of Voortrekker),
- Belrail,
- Sanlamhof,
- Dunrobin, Stikland,
- Triangle Farm,
- Saxon Industria,
- Shirley Park,
- Labiance,
- Bellville South,
- Bellville South Industria,
- Greenlands,
- Sack’s Circle,
- Glenhaven,
The City of Cape Town said that while they would normally offer more advanced warning, repairs have already been delayed by unavailability of materials, and further delays cannot be accommodated due to the severity of the leak.
“Residents and businesses are kindly requested to store water upfront for use during this emergency repair. They are also requested to keep their taps closed to prevent any water wastage and/or damage when the water supply is restored.
“Water tankers will be roaming through the areas to provide water for domestic use where required,” the City said.
“The City regrets any inconvenience caused, but it is imperative that it maintains its water supply infrastructure to benefit its consumers.”
