Ward 97 Cllr Andre Beetge provided an update on the repairs.
“The actual repair is complete. A new section of pipe has been laid with couplings fitted. We are now waiting backfill material and the TLB to close up the pipe,” he said.
Cllr Beetge explained that the water supply cannot be opened before this, as the pipe needs to be embedded first as merely opening it will lead to an immediate rupture.
“We are awaiting confirmation on the availability as the department is also attending problems in bordering areas,” he said.
