Update

GEORGE NEWS - George Municipality is progressing well with preparations to install a temporary pipeline to restore water supply to Wilderness. 

All required materials have been secured, and the route for the temporary line is being cleared. 

The pipe is expected to be in place by Sunday night. "We remain on track to have the temporary line operational by Monday."

The investigation to locate the pipe blockage is still underway.

In parallel, teams continue to investigate the blockage in the original pipeline. This process is ongoing due to difficult terrain.

"The public is thanked for their patience and cooperation."

Businesses only - Bulk water collection at Ebb & Flow

The Municipality's Civil Engineering Directorates has granted permission for bulk water collections for businesses who need larger volumes only at EBB & FLOW Water Treatment Works. 

This service is not available to the public or residents. Residents must please continue to obtain water from the water trucks.

The water will be supplied free of charge, but businesses must arrange their own transport. 

All collections will be monitored and recorded by the Municipality.
