Be prepared for rescheduled water maintenance on July 21 in Moot
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the upgrade on Queenswood Reservoir has been postponed until later this month.
Pretoria Moot residents should take note of a water supply interruption on Monday, July 21.
Maintenance work initially scheduled for July 12 has been rescheduled.
Tshwane spokesperson Lindela Mashigo said the metro has rescheduled the upgrades of the bulk water supply system at the Queenswood Reservoir.
“Tshwane would like to inform its customers in the Queenswood Reservoir supply area about the rescheduled upgrades of the bulk water supply system,” he said.
“Due to unforeseen challenges, the city was compelled to reschedule,” he said.
He said the essential exercise is anticipated to last for eight hours, from 08:00 until 16:00.
Water supply will be affected in the following areas:
– Koedoespoort
– Môregloed
– Queenswood
– Queenswood Ext 2
– Rietfontein
– Villieria
“The City of Tshwane sincerely apologises for the inconvenience that may be encountered due to the abovementioned planned work,” he said.
Mashigo reminded residents of the following water-conservation measures:
– Do not water or irrigate gardens with hosepipes or sprinkler systems between 06:00 and 18:00.
– Do not wash vehicles with hosepipes.
– Do not fill swimming pools.
He urged residents to continue to make the following water-conservation measures part of their normal lifestyle:
– Install a low-flow shower head and tap aerators where possible.
– Use a dual-flush toilet cistern.
– Plant indigenous or drought-resistant shrubs in the garden.
– Use a broom instead of a hosepipe when cleaning driveways or patios.
– Collect rainwater to reuse in the garden or to wash the car.
– Cover the swimming pool to reduce water evaporation.
– Take a shower rather than a bath.
– Close a running tap while brushing teeth or shaving.
– Regularly check toilets and taps for leaks.
– Use grey water to water gardens and flush toilets.
Residents should report water leaks, burst pipes and all incidents where water is wasted.
