Update: Water outage

Update

GEORGE NEWS - The bedding and securing of the Oewer Street water pipe is progressing well with gabions in place and 500mm of soil covering the crown of the pipe as can be seen in the photographs.

This work will be completed by midday Friday 26 November.

As of 09:00 this morning the Eastern Bulk Pipeline has been opened to pump at100% of it's full capacity, with all interconnecting distribution pipelines opened in its entirety. The network continues to fill up but due to high consumption by consumers, the refilling and build up of pressure will continue to take time.

We continue to request the public TO PLEASE CONTINUE USING WATER SPARINGLY and to continue limiting their use of water to ONLY necessities as presently reservoirs are at approximately 25% capacity.

The network is only expected to stabilize by Saturday 27 November.
