Cape Flats residents are being reminded of the imminent water supply interruptions and are urged to stock up on clean drinking water.
The City of Cape Town will impose water restrictions over three days starting on Monday. This notice is critical to ensure that all residents are adequately prepared for the upcoming disruptions.
The municipality’s member of the Mayoral Committee for Water and Sanitation, Zahid Badroodien, explained that the water outages are part of a maintenance plan. This plan includes repairing and replacing five crucial valves along the Cape Flats network.

“This shutdown is necessary for us so that we can conduct crucial maintenance work in a safe manner.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience that will be caused to our residents, but delaying this work has the potential for even greater risk to our water supply infrastructure in the near future,” she said.
The water restrictions will affect several areas within the Cape Flats region.
These areas include Wynberg, Wetton, Ottery, Plumstead, Diep River, Southfield, Elfindale, Heathfield, Retreat, Steenberg, Lavender Hill, Seawinds, Vrygrond, Muizenberg, Parkwood, Lotus River, Grassy Park, Zeekoevlei, Pelican Park, Pelican Heights, Peacock Close, and Eagle Park.
Residents in these areas are strongly advised to store enough clean drinking water to last the duration of the maintenance period.
While the upcoming water outages might cause temporary inconvenience, the maintenance work is essential for the long-term safety and reliability of the water supply infrastructure.
The City of Cape Town appreciates the cooperation and understanding of all residents during this period.
