16h00 SAST: The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality urgently calls on owners of carwashes in Central, Deal Party, Summerstrand, Charlo, Newton Park, Walmer, Humewood, North End, Korsten, Struandale, Mount Pleasant, Lovemore Park, Lovemore Heights, Algoa Park, Struandale, Gelvandale, Gelvan Park as well as parts of New Brighton and KwaZakhele to consider closing their businesses until water supply return to normal in the city.
This follows after two pipelines that supply the city with water from the Churchill and Impofu dams collapsed during the early hours of yesterday (August 2) morning.
Residents are requested to use water sparingly and not to fill containers at their homes as it affects the municipality's call for water conservation over the next couple of days.
We are prioritizing the provision of water to Hospitals and Renal Centres at this stage.
At this stage the following areas could be affected by fluctuating water supply:
Schauderville, Newton Park, Walmer, Walmer Downs, Mangold Park, Summerstrand, Humewood, Humerail, parts of Fernglen, Adcockvale, parts of Cotswold, Seaview, Beachview, Blue Horizon Bay, Kini Bay and the top parts of Gelvan Park and Parkside.
Ends
Issued on behalf of the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality by Media Management Officer Kupido Baron.
11h00 SAST: We are extremely concerned that some residents deliberately fill up large containers of water depleting our supply in the reservoirs at a much faster rate. Please think of others as the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality issued a call that everybody should conserve water over the next four days in the hope that we can also supply some of the affected areas.
This picture was taken on 2 August at 11:50 showing approximately 50m of a 700mm in diameter steelpipe that washed away due to the recent floods.
