George Municipality is aware of the ongoing low water pressure affecting Kingswood, Golf Estate. The low pressure, typically experienced between 08:30 and 11:00, is believed to be caused by faulty valves in the network and increased water use during this timeframe. Efforts are ongoing to restore water pressure to acceptable levels. Residents can expect to see George Municipality teams in the area working on the problem. As the low pressure is cyclical, the results of repairs will only be visible in the following days or a week after the repair and is affected by the high daily use of water.

As the valves are checked and repaired, residents may experience temporary water loss or low pressure. Should the water outage be longer than 2 hours, or low pressure experienced, residents are urged to report the fault to the Complaints Desk on 044 801 9266/9262. This will assist the Municipality to pinpoint areas which require work, and where areas have improved after remedial measures.

The Municipality remains committed to resolving this issue and will continue to keep residents informed of any progress.

Inwoners en besoekers van Uniondale word uitgenooi om hierdie Saterdag die Uniondale Liggiefees by te woon. Die fees beloof uitstekende vermaak deur plaaslike kunstenaars, insluitend sangers, plaaslike platejoggies en selfs rieldansers.

Volgens Marildien Olivier, organiseerder van die fees en amptenaar van die George Munisipaliteit, sal daar iets wees om elkeen te vermaak.

Inwoners word aangemoedig om hul eie versnapperings en kampeerstoele saam te bring om die gesellige atmosfeer te geniet, het Olivier bygevoeg.

Die uitvoerende burgemeester van George, raadsdame Jackie von Brandis, sal die liggies die aand amptelik aanskakel en ook ‘n toespraak aan die skare lewer.

Die fees vind plaas op die oop terrein in Paul Venter Rylaan en duur vanaf 19:00 tot 23:00.
Van die gehoor se gunstelinge is die plaaslike platejoggies, Charliam Maakso, Jason Mars, en DJ Gumz.

Olivier het gesê hulle is ook opgewonde oor Deshaun November, wat voorheen opgetree het op Koortjies, ‘n gospelprogram op televisie waarvan Jonathan Rubain die aanbieder was.
Verder sal ons plaaslike rieldansers, altyd ‘n gunsteling onder die gehoor, ook optree.
