Be prepared for major water supply shutdown!
To allow for the installation of a butterfly valve on the B11 water supply pipeline, Rand Water will be shutting down the Vereeniging Pump Station from Monday the 24th June 2019 at 05h00 until Wednesday the 26th June 2019 at 23h00.
This was yesterday confirmed in a media release from Emfuleni Local Municipality:
Kindly note that all Emfuleni communities will be affected by this shutdown, with some areas experiencing low pressure and some water shortages. Further note that Vanderbijlpark, Bophelong, Bonanne, Boipatong and Vanderbijlpark Small Farm Holdings/Plots will be experiencing a total water shutdown during the aforementioned period. This is due to critical repairs of a leaking bulk pipeline that feeds the Vanderbijlpark reservoirs.
Consumers are advised to collect water for basic use during this shutdown. The Emfuleni Local Municipality wishes to apologize for any inconvenience caused.
For more information, contact Metsi-a-Lekoa Customer Care Centre on (016) 986 8361, 8368 or 8375
Maak gereed vir groot onderbreking in watertoevoer!
Rand Water beplan om vanaf Maandag ‘n vlinderklep op die B11 watervoorsieningpyplyn te installeer. Vir dié doel gaan die Vereenigingse pompstasie vanaf Maandag 24 Junie om 05:00 tot Woensdag 26 Junie om 23:00 afgeskakel word. Na verwagting gaan alle gemeenskappe in Emfuleni deur dié uitgebreide onderbreking in watervoorsiening geraak word, met sommige gebiede wat lae druk en watertekorte gaan ervaar.
Let asseblief verder daarop dat hoewes, kleinplasies en residensiële erwe in Vanderbijlpark, Bophelong, Bonanne, Boipatong en Vanderbijlpark gedurende dié tydperk waarskynlik ‘n algehele onderbreking in watervoorsiening sal ondervind. Dit is as gevolg van kritieke herstelwerk aan ‘n lekkende grootmaatpypleiding na die Vanderbijlparkse reservoirs.
Verbruikers word aangeraai om betyds voorsiening te maak deur water op te gaar vir basiese behoeftes gedurende die afsluiting.
Die munisipaliteit vra verskoning vir enige ongerief, maar die werk aan die pypleiding is noodsaaklik om groter probleme te voorkom.
