POLOKWANE – According to municipal spokesperson, Tidimalo Chuene, a burst pipe in Potgieter Avenue was the reason for water shortage in various areas of the city yesterday.
The areas that were affected were Welgelegen, Bendor, Eduan Park.
The pipe was repaired at around 05:00 this morning and since then water has been restored to all affected areas.
