Two-day water shutdown in Polokwane: What you need to know
Polokwane residents are advised to prepare for a two-day water shutdown affecting areas supplied by the Potgieter Reservoir this week.
POLOKWANE – Residents in certain areas of Polokwane should take note of a temporary shutdown of the Dap Naudé pipeline from Wednesday (August 13) to Thursday (August 14) that will affect water supply.
The Polokwane Municipality says the planned interruption is necessary to connect a recently repaired section of the pipeline at the river crossing before the Dalmada Water Treatment Plant.
The municipal spokesperson Thipa Selala said the shutdown will affect areas supplied by the Potgieter Reservoir that includes:
- Bendor
- The City
- Westenburg
- Nirvana
- Ladanna.
“To minimise inconvenience, the municipality has made arrangements to prioritise the filling of the Potgieter Reservoir before the shutdown and deploy water tankers to affected areas where necessary,” Selala said.
He added that affected residents should use water sparingly and make necessary preparations in advance.
