‘Serious leak’ may cause water shortage in Polokwane

The Municipality says the Ebenezer plant line to Polokwane has been shutdown for repairs

POLOWKANE – These repairs could take up to eight hours for the leak to be fixed.

The municipality has also advised the public that the shutdown will affect all areas supplied from Ebenezer such as Mamabolo, Mankweng and the city reservoirs.

The other challenge is that one of the pumpstationd from Olifants to Polokwane, is off due to electricity and the matter is receiving attention.
