POLOKWANE – Lepelle Northern Water (LNW) says the Olifantspoort Plant is off and not supplying water to the city.
This is due to a damaged coil at the low lift pump station and LNW says their electrical team is attending to the situation.
“All areas of supply are affected. LNW has not given an estimated time for when water supply will be restored, however, normal water supply will be restored once the water board has fixed the coil,” said Municipal Spokesperson, Thipa Selala.
