UPDATE ON WATER DISRUPTIONS OCCURING IN PARTS OF THE CITY AS A RESULT OF A BURST PIPE ON THE EAST / WEST TRANSFER PIPELINE.

The Municipality wishes to update residents that the repair to the initial burst was completed late last night.

Fixing of this leak was delayed as a result of a broken sewer line. Sewerage ran into the trench and had to be rerouted before work on the repair could continue.

Due to security risks, the repair team was forced to leave the site around 19:45. They are back on-site this morning and are currently replacing the soil that had been excavated to execute the repair. A second repair team and tractor loader backerhoe (TLB) has been requested to speed up the work.

The secondary leak is being excavated and it is suspected that there is a seam line burst. A welder will be brought on-site to repair the burst once the site is completely excavated.

Water tankers will be made available and their locations will be communicated on the NMBM Facebook and Twitter pages and can also be enquired about by calling the service delivery call centre at 0800 20 50 50.

We thank residents for their continued patience and apologise for the inconvenience caused.
