The City’s Water and Sanitation Department will be conducting zero pressure tests on the main water supply to the Westlake Upper area. This work will result in the disruption of water supply to this area bounded by Steenberg Road and the Simon Van Der Stel Freeway on Thursday, 8 September 2022, from 21:00 until 04:00 on Friday, 9 September 2022. Read more below:
Zero-pressure testing is part of the installation process for pressure management technology. Tests are done to see if there are any unmapped inflows that need to be taken into account before smart pressure reducing valves are installed.
Residents are kindly advised to store water in clean, sealed containers for use during this period and ensure that their taps are closed to avoid water loss and/or damage when the supply is restored.
This work forms part of the City’s Water Demand Management Strategy. Managing water pressure more effectively reduces the possibility of pipe bursts and water wastage.
The City sincerely regrets any inconvenience caused.
