Update on Low Pressure & Water Outage: Water has been Restored

21 November 2023 @19:25

The Eskom Potable Water Storage Reservoir is still experiencing low water supply levels.

Municipal teams have investigated the system. The pump delivery was identified as a probable fault. New impellers were ordered and are expected on Thursday. In the interim network adjustments were made to support the area. Maitland Street, Kerriwood Hills Estate, and Mont Fleur Estate have been restored.

Residents of Blanco and surrounding areas are urged to continue using water sparingly to allow the reservoir to build up reserves.

A standpipe is installed on the corner of Searle and Gousblom Street to cater to residents without water.

Residents are requested to report further water outages in Blanco to the after-hours number 044 801 6300.
