Published: March 31, 2023<< BACK TO NEWS
Various parts of the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality are currently experiencing water disruptions following an extended electricity outage which has affected the Stanford Road Pump Station and has led to an inability to transfer water to the Chelsea Reservoir as from last night.
The affected areas include areas that fall under the Chelsea Zone, KwaNobuhle 4 Zone, and the upper lying areas of the Greenbushes Zone.
As at Friday, 31 March 2023, morning, the Chelsea reservoir is at 7% and Greenbushes is 15%,
KwaNobuhle 4 is at 7% however the intermittent water supply in the area is due to water shortage at the LoerieTreatment Works.
NMBM Infrastructure and Engineering Portfolio Head, Cllr Dries van der Westhuizen said the technical team will make operational adjustments to assist the recovery of the zones affected by disruptions.
"We have organised water tankers, some have already been dispatched in the affected areas as an emergency measure," he said.
Water trucks positions for now:
Linton Grange Pick and Pay
Hunters Spar
Kamma Park Checkers
Sherwood Spar
Malabar area
Ext 5 Barcelona.
We apologise for the inconvenience caused.
Ends.
