The City of Cape Town’s Water and Sanitation Department announced that it will be shutting off the water supply to the Stikland area, from 9 pm on Monday, 4 April until 4 am the next day.
According to the City, the shutdown will enable the safe completion of construction work on the main water supply to the area and will result in the disruption of water supply to the Stikland area bounded by Kuils River, Willow, Strand and Old Paarl Roads.
“The work involves cutting into the pipeline to connect an air valve and a flowmeter to the water supply network.
“Careful consideration has been given to the planning of this work to ensure minimal disruption to the water supply in the affected area,” the City said.
The City further advised residents to store water in clean, sealed containers upfront for domestic use during this period and to ensure that their taps are closed to avoid water loss when the supply is restored.
“This work forms part of the City’s Water Demand Management Strategy. Managing water pressure more effectively reduces the possibility of pipe bursts and water wastage,” the City added.
