The statement said the shutdown is due to a tie-in the 800mm diameter steel pipe being laid into the existing 750mm steel pipe located at the corner of Anton Lembede Street and Alexandra Street, as a result, the Montille Reservoir supplying water to the CBD will be affected.
The municipality said most parts of the CBD will experience water shortages during this process and apologises for the inconvenience caused and appeals to residents to use water sparingly.
