Polokwane municipality spokesperson, Thipa Selala, says they were warned in the early hours of Thursday morning by Lepelle Northern Water (LNW) that water supply from the Olifantspoort Plant has been temporarily halted.

 

"LNW says the stoppage is due to failure of non-return valves from one of the pumps. All areas of supply are affected - including Ga-Chuene, Ga-Maja, Thokgwaneng, Ivydale, City and Seshego," says Selala.

 

He adds water may still take some time to reach all affected areas after replacement of the valves.
