On Tuesday, 11 March 2025, the City of Tshwane’s Water and Sanitation Department will carry out planned maintenance work of control valves at the R4 Reservoir Zone in Mamelodi.
This essential work is scheduled for eight hours from 08:00 to 16:00 and will result in a water supply interruption in Mamelodi Ext 5 and 8.
The City of Tshwane apologises for the inconvenience that may be encountered during this planned water interruption. Residents are urged to store enough water for household purposes during this period.
WATER-SAVING TIPS
Residents are urged to make the following water-conservation measures part of their normal lifestyle:
- Do not water or irrigate gardens with hosepipes or sprinkler systems between 06:00 and 18:00.
- Do not wash vehicles with hosepipes.
- Do not fill swimming pools.
Residents are urged to keep on using grey water to water gardens and flush toilets. Residents should report water leaks, burst pipes and all incidents where water is wasted. Where possible, water-saving devices should be installed.
Residents should make water conservation part of their everyday lives by following the following water-saving tips:
- Install a low-flow shower head and tap aerators where possible.
- Use a dual-flush toilet cistern.
- Plant indigenous or drought-resistant shrubs in the garden.
- Use a broom instead of a hosepipe when cleaning driveways or patios.
- Collect rainwater to reuse in the garden or wash the car.
- Cover the swimming pool to reduce water evaporation.
- Take a short shower rather than a bath.
- Close a running tap while brushing teeth or shaving.
- Regularly check toilets and taps for leaks.
