West residents warned of a possible water interruption
“The City of Tshwane will conduct scheduled upgrades to the water supply distribution system at Iscor Heights High-Level Reservoirs”.
The Tshwane metro will shut off water supply to some areas in the west of Pretoria on Tuesday from 11:00 to Wednesday at 18:00 for routine maintenance.
Spokesperson Lindela Mashigo said the interruption will affect areas supplied by Iscor Heights reservoirs.
“The City of Tshwane will conduct scheduled upgrades to the water supply distribution system at Iscor Height high-level reservoirs during the month of April 2023. The said upgrades on the system will start on Tuesday, April 11 at 11:00, until Wednesday, April 12 at 18:00,” Mashigo added.
He, however, assured residents in the affected areas that the municipality will try to avoid water supply interruptions.
According to the metro, the following areas may be affected by the upgrade:
– Broekscheur 318-JR
– Lotus Gardens (all extensions)
– Claremont
– Philip Nel Park
– Danville (all extensions)
– Pretoria
– Daspoort
– Pretoria ext. 2, 3, 6 and 10
– Daspoort 319-JR
– Pretoria Town and Townlands 351-JR
– Daspoort Estate
– Salvokop ext. 3
– Elandspoort

– Fort 646-JR
– Van Zylslaagte 755-JR
– Fort West ext. 5
– Zandfontein 317-JR

Mashigo further said the metro understood that this upgrade would inconvenience many residents in the area.
“The City of Tshwane apologises profusely for the inconvenience that may be caused as a result of the shutdown of the water supply,” he said.
Recently the metro announced that it had experienced low water levels and supply problems but added that Rand Water was working on the problems.
It further said that Thatchfield Ridge, Centurion and south of the city also had been without water for days but blamed this to vandalism of its system near Kosmosdal.
