KIMBERLEY. – Update on Interim supply: Newton Reservoir
We have commenced supply from Newton for the high lying(Surburbs) areas which have been without water since yesterday same time. The supply will be until just around 19:00 this evening. Please ensure you have adequate water. At Riverton Purification Plant, we have proceeded to install a new Y connection pipe to the New Pump Station, which is our future supplier on the 600mm pipe. This is as we continue with supplying the city through the 900mm pipe line. Welding of the Y connection will proceed until is properly installed. Once it’s done we will start up supply with the additional 600mm pipe. We had intended to shelve the Y connection but under the circumstances we have rather proceeded with the installation. Galeshewe and Roodepan will have low pressure or no supply but we appeal for cooperation. Please be patient and thanks for the cooperation. Hospitals and Guest Houses, Businesses and Malls are required to ensure they make adequate provision.The fire department is unable to assist except in Fire Emergency. Will provide further update later. Thanks
