CBD and Atlantic seaboard residents advised not to drink municipal water until further notice

The City of Cape Town’s Water and Sanitation Department will be undertaking the connection of the newly installed 500 mm diameter pipeline to the existing 500 mm diameter water main in Blackhill Road. As a result of these works residents living on the higher-lying elevations within areas such as Capri Village, Noordhoek, Sunvalley, Masiphumelele, Ocean View, Kommetjie and Scarborough will be affected.

Residents may experience low or reduced pressure, as well as an intermittent supply today between 8am and 6pm.This work forms part of Kommetjie Main Road upgrade project.

On Thursday November 14, 2019, the department will be decommissioning the old infrastructure and commissioning the newly installed pipeline supplying Capri Village. The work will result in the disruption of the water supply on Thursday November 14, between 8am and 4pm. This will leave Capri Village without water for the duration of the work.
