George Municipality is aware of a water outage affecting the Circular Drive Informal Settlement in Parkdene.

To assist residents during this time, a water truck has been dispatched to supply water.

The truck will withdraw overnight and will be available again from 5:00 AM on Thursday, 23 January 2025.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused by this outage and thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

An electrician is on-site, currently busy with repair work.

However, the further removal of illegal connections is delaying progress and making the repair process challenging.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your patience.

Please be advised that an unplanned power outage is currently affecting Zone 7 and Zone 8 in Thembalethu. Electricians have been dispatched to investigate the issue.

The Estimated Time of Restoration (ETR) will be communicated once available.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your patience.

George Municipality wishes to inform residents about delays in refuse collection caused by the breakdown of several compactor trucks.

While some trucks have already been repaired, the current number of operational vehicles is insufficient to ensure prompt collection.

Affected Areas:
• Wilderness East: Collection will begin later than scheduled.
• George CBD, Businesses, Schools, and Glentana: Expect delays in refuse collection.

To manage the situation, internal operations have been adjusted to prioritise the use of available trucks. Refuse collection in the affected areas will commence as soon as trucks complete their initial rounds.

Important Information:
Residents are kindly requested to leave their refuse outside until collection is completed. Rest assured; all refuse will be collected as soon as possible.

We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding during this time.

Na aanleiding van die vroeëre verslag oor ‘n pypbars in Langstraat, Uniondale, kan ons nou bevestig dat alle watervoorsiening in die geaffekteerde gebiede herstel is.

Ons bedank die geaffekteerde inwoners vir hul geduld.
