UPDATE ON THE ELECTRICAL OUTAGE AFFECTING THE MOTHERWELL BOOSTER PUMP
The Municipality would like to inform residents that all power to the Motherwell Booster Pumps has been restored.
However, unfortunately the pumping system from Nooitgedagt ran emplty and has to be filled up again before the booster pump stations can restart.
Should supply meet the demand, the system will recover overnight and no water disruptions will be experienced.
We urge residents to use water sparingly to ensure that the demand does not outweigh supply.
