UPDATE ON LOW PRESSURE & WATER OUTAGE – BLANCO


 25 November 2023 @ 16:44

The Eskom Potable Water Storage Reservoir is experiencing low water supply levels due to load shedding.

Pumps were fixed on 24 November however loadshedding has not allowed levels to build up and support the area. This results in low pressure with higher areas having no water.

Residents of Blanco and surrounding areas are urged to continue using water sparingly to allow the reservoir to build up reserves.

For today, the reservoir will be recharged using a large tanker. The municipality will install a generator to assist during loadshedding in the next two days.

ROTATIONAL SWITCH ON AFTER LOADSHEDDING – reduce power to avoid network tripping
Consumers are reminded to PLEASE use electricity sparingly after power returns. Please do not switch high-usage equipment on immediately after Load shedding.

Consumers are urged to turn off high-usage equipment and where possible to not switch on appliances such as stoves and kettles for at least 30 minutes after load shedding is scheduled to return. This will reduce the risk of overload tripping on the network.

Reporting power outages
Please do not phone the after-hours number or the Electrotechnical Department to report that you have no power immediately after load shedding is scheduled to be lifted. Please be aware of the rotational switching on i.e. areas are switched on one by one and not all at the same time to avoid overloading the system. Please wait at least 30 minutes before reporting no power. The Electrotechnical Directorate will be aware of a possible substation trip that needs to be sorted out.
