Please note this is the second fault that took place late last night following a pressure imbalance. The pipeline is not standard size and as such the fittings and couplings are not readily available.

Our appointed contractors are on site and the updated estimated time of repairs is 12h00

George Municipality apologizes for the inconvenience caused.

Repairs are nearly completed on the bulk water pipeline. Due to the odd size of the installation, a number of the fittings and couplings were not readily available. After being unable to source from all service providers in George, the required spares were manufactured in Mossel Bay today.

The water should be reopened by 5pm today and it will then take at least an hour for the water network to stabilize and for pressure to build up. The water network should be fully restored by 6pm. The water trucks will remain stationed in the positions below until after 6pm.

A fire on a current transformer at the ESKOM SUBSTATION next to SCHAAPKOP has been extinguished.

ESKOM will be able to isolate the faulty current transformer and should be able to restore power to Rosedale, Pacaltsdorp and the Industrial area around 20h30 when loadshedding is lifted.

A slight delay can be expected. A further update will be provided should there be a further issue.
