INTERMITTENT WATER SUPPLY DUE TO A FAULT AT THE ELANDSJAGT WATER TREATMENT WORKS.

The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality is currently experiencing difficulties supplying water to certain storage reservoirs due to a fault at the Elandsjagt Water Treatment Works.

This places the system at risk as storage conditions remain low due to ongoing drought.

Municipal teams are currently on site assessing requirements to execute repairs.

Areas that could experience low pressure or disruptions include:

Parts of Walmer

Walmer Downs

Mangold Park

Glen Hurd

Newton Park

Greenacres

Parts of Cotsworld

Parts of Schauderville

Linkside

Mill Park

Parts of Central

Mount Croix

Perridgevale

Deal party

North End

Sydenham

The situation will be monitored and water tankers will be made available if reservoir storage levels deplete.

The positions of the water tankers will be communicated on the NMBM social media platforms and can also be enquired from 0800205050.

Consumers are requested to use water sparingly and not to stockpile, this will accelerate the depletion of storage.
