On Wednesday, 26 February 2025, the City of Tshwane Water and Sanitation Department will shut down the water supply to the Babelegi Reservoir distribution areas of Hammanskraal. This is to allow the City’s technicians to install refurbished control valves inside Babelegi Booster Pump Station.
This essential work is scheduled to last for ten hours from 07:00 until 17:00.
The reservoir inlet and outlet will be closed prior to the shutdown, which will result in a water supply interruption in the following areas:
- Babelegi Industrial Area
- Kekana Gardens
- Mandela Village
- Marokolong
- Ramotse
- Refilwe and Portion 9
The City of Tshwane apologises for the inconvenience that may be encountered as a result of the above-mentioned work. Roaming water tankers will be arranged to supply the affected residents with water.
We appeal to all residents to use water sparingly during this time. The City encourages residents to assist in conserving and using water sparingly by doing the following:
- Do not water gardens.
- Do not wash cars.
- Do not clean driveways or pavements using hosepipes.
- Do not fill swimming pools.
- Flush toilets only when necessary.
- Close a running tap while brushing teeth.
- Reduce daily water usage as much as possible.
