POLOKWANE -Lepelle Northern Water (LNW) will carrying out maintenance/repairs on the Olifantspoort plant pipeline to Polokwane tomorrow, 2 July 2015.
According to municipal spokesperson, Tidimalo Chuene, the repairs will be carried out from 07:00 -13:00. In this time LWN will repair a serious leakage (breakdown) on the Specon pipeline which has to be done tomorrow due to water wastage.
Chuene urges all residents and businesses to continue using water sparingly before and during this time.
Areas might experience water shortage due to tomorrow’s shutdown of Olifantspoort plant. These areas include Nirvana, Penina Park, Ivy Park, Ster Park, Seshego, Flora Park and Moletjie.
“Polokwane Municipality has however put 23 water tankers on standby to deal with any shortage,” says Chuene.

PLANNED SHUTDOWN ON 14 JULY:
LNW will again shut down the Olifantspoort plant on 14 July 2015 between 07:00-14:00 for the purpose of cleaning the Palmitfontein Reservoir which supplies the areas of Penina Park, Ivy Park Extension, Flora Park, Meropa, Seshego, Madiba Park and Legae la Batho.
