In a statement, Spokesperson for the Polokwane Municipality, Thipa Selala says as from this morning, water readings indicate that Olifantspoort plant is pumping 260 litres per second (l/s) while Ebenezer Scheme is pumping 107l/s to the city.
Reservoir levels are still low with Ext 34 Ivydale at 70%, Potgieter at 0%, 50MI Krugersburg at 9%, 30MI Dome Krugersburg at 11%, 30MI Flat Krugersburg at 15% and Seshego at 0%.
“Water tankers are deployed to areas not receiving supply, however residents, who are able to, are encouraged to source water straight from the Dalmada and Seshego Treatment Plants,” says Selala.
Normal water supply will be restored once reservoir levels improve.
