Tshwane Residents Face 24-Hour Water Outage

The single sharpest fact is that over 20 suburbs in Tshwane will be without water for 24 hours, starting from 7:00 on Thursday, 9 July, until 7:00 on Friday, 10 July.

The water outage will affect a wide stretch of Tshwane's northern suburbs, with areas like Annlin, Montana, Sinoville, Pretoria North, Wonderboom, Ninapark, Pyramid, Theresapark, and Wolmer, along with their extensions. Smaller pockets such as Amalinda 643-JR, Doornpoort 295-JR, Grootvlei 272-JR, and Rooiwal 270-JR will also lose supply.

Other suburbs on the list include Bon Accord AH, De Onderstepoort 300-JR, Dorandia, Florauna, Haakdoornfontein 119-JR, Haakdoornlaagte 277-JR, Hartebeestfontein 324-JR, Hesteapark Ext 28, Honingnestkrans 269-JR, Kenley AH, Kromdraai 115-JR and 728-JR, Lusthof 114-JR, Magalieskruin, Mont Lorraine A, Murrayhill 275-JR, Ondersteopoort, Pylpunt 276-JR, Pyramid Estate AH, Rondavel Alias Schoongezigt 109-JR, Tileba, Wallmannsthal, and Waterval 273-JR.

The city has apologised for the inconvenience and thanked residents for their patience during the works. Conservation measures urged Tshwane has used the alert to renew calls for residents to adopt water-saving habits. The city wants gardeners to avoid irrigating with hosepipes or sprinklers between 6:00 and 18:00.

Residents should not wash vehicles with hosepipes or fill swimming pools during this period. Officials also encourage households to reuse grey water for gardens and toilet flushing, and to install water-saving devices where possible. Additional tips include fitting low-flow shower heads and tap aerators, using dual-flush cisterns, planting drought-resistant shrubs, sweeping driveways instead of hosing them down, harvesting rainwater, covering pools to limit evaporation, taking shorter showers, and checking regularly for leaks.

The water outage is necessary for the installation of a 600 mm inlet meter at the Wonderboom Reservoir. Residents can contact the city on 012 358 9999 or 080 1111 556 to report no water supply, burst pipes, leaking meters, or blocked sewers.

Tshwane has a population of over 3 million people and is one of the three municipalities that make up the Gauteng province. The city's water supply system is a complex network of pipes, reservoirs, and treatment plants that serve the needs of its residents.

The city's water supply is managed by the City of Tshwane's Water Services Department, which is responsible for ensuring that residents have access to safe and reliable water supply.

The water outage is expected to have a significant impact on the daily lives of residents, particularly those who rely on water for their livelihoods such as gardeners and small business owners.

Residents are advised to stock up on water and use this opportunity to install water-saving devices and implement water-saving habits in their daily lives.
