The City of Cape Town has urged residents to use water sparingly as the country moves to stage 6 load shedding which could potentially affect the booster water pump stations:
Water Services:The water treatment plants across the City are equipped with standby generators to ensure that clean drinking water can continue to be provided in the event of load-shedding.
Some higher-lying areas may experience low pressure or supply disruptions in the event of a power outage affecting the booster water pump stations which are required in some areas to convey water to the reservoirs supplying the higher-lying areas across the City. Should residents in these areas – particularly in the northern and southern parts of the city – experience low pressure, this could likely be due to the impact of load-shedding.
However, if the problem persists for more than four hours, residents are advised to contact the City on the following channels:
