POSTPOMENT OF THE MAINTENANCE SHUTDOWN ON THE MOTHERWELL NORTH PIPELINE
The City wishes to inform residents that the maintenance work scheduled for today on the Motherwell North pipeline has been postponed owing to unforeseen circumstances.
A new date will be communicated at a later stage.
We apologise for the inconvenience caused.
REDUCED SUPPLY TO THE EMERALD HILL ZONE
August 4th, 2022.
As previously communicated, the allocation from the Kromme system has been restricted to only 30 megalitres per day. The demand on this system still outweighs the supply and to minimise the impact of this, the Metro has developed certain augmentation schemes to supplement this deficit.
A faulty valve was discovered on one of these systems and it had since been removed. This reduced the augmentation potential today and this caused reservoirs supplied from the Kromme system to lose storage. This could cause low pressure or water supply disruptions.
Work is nearing completion and thereafter, the transfer supply system can be commissioned again. Water supply will continue to be restored throughout the night.
We therefore require all residents to keep their water consumption to a minimum so that storage can accumulate once again.
The following areas may experience low water pressure or water disruptions:
1. Parts of Walmer
2. Walmer Township
3. Walmer Downs
4. Walmer Heights
5. Mangold Park
6. Glen Hurd
7. Mangold Park
8. Glendinningvale
9. Pari Park, Gelndore Road
10. Perridgevale
11. Adcockvale
12. Newton Park
13. Parsonshill
14. Greenacres
15. Greenacres Hospital
16. St Georges Hospital
17. Parts of Cotsworld
18. Richmond Hill
19. Parts of Schauderville
20. Linkside
21. Mill Park
22. Parts of Central
23. Mount Croix
24. Perridgevale
25. Deal Party
26. North End
27. Sydenham
28. Central
We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience the has caused.

COMMISSIONING OF THREE GROUNDWATER PROJECTS.
The Municipality wishes to inform residents that the Glendinning Wellfield project has commenced with its' commissioning phase.
During this period, a collection point has been established at the below mentioned location so that residents can collect non-potable water free of charge.
It is important to remember that this water cannot be used for drinking, cooking or cleaning. The maximum volume per vehicle per day will be limited to 1000 litres.
Water can be collected from the location below:
1. Glendinning Wellfield.
59 Illingworth Street, Millard Grange, Gqeberha.
27 - 29 July 2022
08h00 to 19h00
The trial operation phase is essential to ensure that the system is safe, reliable and adheres to water quality standards.
The aquifer will also be monitored to ensure that abstraction is sustainable and adheres to the conditions of the Water Use License from the Department of Water and Sanitation.
LOAD REDUCTION SCHEDULE: KARIEGA
The Metro wishes to inform residents in Kariega that it will take approximately two weeks to repair the cable fault affecting the area.
In order to reduce pressure and ensure that residents do not experience prolonged power outages, we will execute load reduction in the affected areas for two hours at a time.
The areas have been divided into three groups and a schedule as indicated below has been devised:
