Excavation on the 500mm Caledon bulk water supply pipeline has proved extremely difficult due to saturated soil from 2 days of rain and overflow from nearby stream. Heavy machinery approaching site may damage pipe further due to the soft soil. Repairs will continue on Monday once water drains from soil.

We have no reports of areas without water, only a few with low water pressure. Any residents who have NO water must please report to our After Hours Number 044 801 6300 with your address.

RESIDENTS ARE URGED TO USE WATER SPARINGLY

A burst on a 110mm distribution pipeline has caused damage to the 300 mm bulk pipeline. Municipal teams have been on site most of the day trying to isolate the 300mm before work proceeds on the 110mm. Wet weather conditions have hampered the excavations.

Affected streets include: Dennegeur Avenue, 6th Avenue, 7th Avenue, Steinbok Street, Dassie Street, 9th Avenue

Complications with the repair have extended repair time by a further 5-6 hours.

Water tanker will continue to roam in the affected area.

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.
