The interruption is due to scheduled maintenance on Tuesday, September 3 from 09:00 to 05:00.
Parts of Mamelodi will experience water supply interruptions on Tuesday, September 3.
Metro spokesperson Lindela Mashigo said a 300mm gate valve and two 200mm pressure-reducing valves are to be installed at the Mamelodi R2 Reservoir.
“This vital work is scheduled for 20 hours, from 09:00 until 05:00,” said Mashigo.
The following areas will be affected:
– Mamelodi Extensions 13 and 15
– Mamelodi Sun Valley
– Mamelodi 608-JR
Mashigo urged resident to continue to make the following water conservation measures part of their normal lifestyle:
– Do not water or irrigate your garden with a hosepipe or sprinkler system between 06:00 and 18:00.
– Do not wash your vehicle with a hosepipe.
– Do not refill your swimming pool.
– Install a low-flow shower head and tap aerators where possible.
– Use a dual-flush toilet cistern.
– Use a broom instead of a hosepipe to clean a driveway or patio.
– Collect rainwater to reuse in the garden or wash the car.
– Cover the swimming pool to reduce water evaporation.
– Take a short shower rather than a bath.
– Close the tap while brushing teeth or shaving.
– Regularly check toilets and taps around the home for leaks.
He urged residents to report water leaks, burst pipes and all water wastage to the metro.
