UPDATE – UNPLANNED WATER OUTAGE / LOW WATER PRESSURE – 450mm pipeline – Blanco, Heatherpark, Heatherlands


Excavation and repairwork is continuing at the site of the 450mm pipeburst in Heatherlands. The burst occurred last night and resources have been busy all day. The difficult terrain is unfortunately slowing the repair and we remain unable to provide an ETR.

Please note the affected areas will either have no water or experience low water pressure.

Areas Affected
The affected area includes a portion of Blanco, Heatherpark and Heatherlands.
Specific streets affected are Maitland Street, Searle Street. Preekstoel Street and the farms fed from the ESKOM reservoir.

Water Tankers
1. A large tanker will be stationed in Fortuin Street until 10pm tonight.
2. A second tanker will roam.

We ask residents in Blanco, Heather Park and Heatherlands to please reduce your water consumption as much as possible to avoid reservoirs running dry.
