Planned water supply interruption to affect Hatfield and nearby areas – 25 August 2025

Residents in the area of the Loftus bulk water supply line are informed about planned maintenance work which will take place on Thursday, 28 August 2025.

On this day, the team will conduct a CCTV inspection and install valves in preparation for repairs to a leak on a 250 mm pipeline in the area.

This work is anticipated to last for eight hours, from 08:00 to 16:00, and it will affect the following areas:

• Brooklyn
• Colbyn
• Hatfield
• Part of Menlopark
• Muckleneuk

Roaming water tankers will be arranged to service the affected areas during the period of the interruption.

The City of Tshwane apologises for the inconvenience that may arise as a result of the maintenance work.

 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 making use of 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 quick shower rather than a bath.
• Close a running tap while brushing teeth or shaving.
• Regularly check toilets and taps for leaks.
