The system is being charged to fill the different reservoirs affected, including the Westcliff reservoir that supplies Coedmore, Yellowwood Park and Woodlands.

“As the reservoirs gradually refill and the system stabilises, the restoration of water supplies will therefore vary across the affected areas depending on reservoir recovery levels and system pressure,” said the municipality in a statement.

They added that customers may experience low water pressure until the system is fully restored. The shutdown was necessary to enable the contractor to undertake work for the new Southern Aqueduct upgrade project.

The municipality thanked the community for their patience while working on the upgrade and apologised for any inconvenience caused.
