UPDATE: Burst Water Pipeline Affecting Multiple Areas in George

Issued by George Municipality, 5 July 2024@10:45

The pipe has been confirmed as an 800mm bulk water pipeline which supplies Kraaibosch, Blue Mountain, Levallia, Rosemore, Parkdene, Conville and Thembalethu. The burst has negatively impacted the reservoirs supplying George with water. Municipal teams and a Municipal Contractor are working to repair the pipeline. The estimated repair time is 6-8 hours. This may be extended should the material to repair the pipe be unavailable.

Residents of Kraaibosch, Blue Mountain, Levallia, Rosemore, Parkdene, and Conville are expected to have water, at low pressure.

Residents of Thembalethu, especially Zone 9, may experience no water. A large water tanker will be stationed at Fourways at the Fire Station, with a smaller tanker roaming the streets.

ALL residents are urged to use water very sparingly due to low reservoir levels.

Residents who are without water should contact the After Hours Call Centre on 044 801 6300.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
