The City of Tshwane will temporarily shut down Bronkhorstspruit Water Treatment Plant in order to facilitate the installation of new panels for the high-lift motors. This inevitable shutdown is scheduled to start on 5 May and will continue until 16 May 2025.
In a water treatment plant, panels for high-lift motors serve to control and monitor the operation of pumps that lift treated water to a higher elevation, typically for distribution to water towers or directly into the water reticulation system. These panels are crucial for ensuring efficient and reliable operation of the high-lift pumps, which are essential for delivering water to end users. This essential upgrade is aimed at enhancing the performance of the mentioned high-lift pumps.
The City intends to complete the upgrade within the specified period and will closely monitor and update residents on developments.
The following areas in Region 7 will be affected:
• Bronkhorstspruit Town
• Ekandustria
• Ekangala
• Rethabiseng
• Riamarpark
• Zithobeni
• Thembisile Hani Local Municipality (cross-border water supply)
The City of Tshwane sincerely apologises for the inconvenience that may be encountered as a result of this temporary shutdown.
Roaming water tankers have been arranged for all affected areas.
