Residents supplied by the Wonderboom Reservoir are advised to prepare for a planned 24-hour water supply interruption from 07:00 on July 9 until 07:00 on July 10, as the Tshwane Metro undertakes essential maintenance at the reservoir.
The interruption is necessary to allow for the installation of a 600mm inlet meter, which forms part of ongoing efforts to improve the metro’s water infrastructure.
Metro spokesperson Lindela Mashigo said the planned shutdown is essential to ensure the long-term reliability and efficiency of the water distribution network.
“The planned interruption is required to facilitate the installation of a 600mm inlet meter at the Wonderboom Reservoir.
“We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause and thank residents for their patience, understanding and continued cooperation while this important work is carried out,” said Mashigo.
