Tshwane residents warned of water cuts in Sunnyside, CBD
The City of Tshwane has warned residents of a water shutdown in parts of Sunnyside and the Pretoria CBD.
Spokesperson Lindela Mashigo said this is due to an emergency major leak on a large-diameter pipeline in Nelson Mandela Drive and Willows Street.
Technicians are expected to attend to the leak on Thursday morning.
"The city’s technicians anticipate concluding repairs around 17h00 and subsequently restore water supply,” said Mashigo.
“Residents in the supply area are cautioned that since the network will eventually be empty, it will take time for the system to fill-up completely to capacity and for water supply to normalise.”
Areas affected include Arcadia, Trevenna, Sunnyside, Freedom Park, Part of Muckleneuk, North of the railway line, and part of Pretoria Central/CBD from Railway to Minnaar Streets.
Mashigo urged customers in the affected area to prepare for the shutdown.
"All properties dependant on water supply for their daily operations are requested to ensure sufficient storage of water to remain operational for the duration of the shutdown.”
