Update

GEORGE NEWS - Repairs continue to the raw water pipeline. The specialised parts for the drinking water (800mm) pipeline will arrive through the night and repairs will commence on arrival.  

The old raw water pipeline has been recommissioned and reservoirs are being monitored with isolation valves alternately opened and closed to replenish reservoirs as needed.

At present, the Eastern suburbs of Blue Mountain, Kraaibosch, Groenkloof are most affected with little to no water. Areas with low water pressure include Conville, Lavalia and Protea Park.

Water trucks are on standby should they be required.

For emergencies or anyone experiencing water issues please contact 044 801 6300.

Photos supplied.

Reminder: The public is requested to please use water sparingly as the old raw water pipeline is smaller and cannot handle full capacity.

An update will be provided by 08:00 tomorrow morning.
