Rescheduled maintenance of a water supply network in Waterkloof Ridge – 12 September 2025

On Tuesday, 16 September 2025, the City of Tshwane will carry out rescheduled upgrading and tie-in connection work to the water supply network at Erf 175, 118 Perseus Avenue, Waterkloof Ridge.

This upgrading work was initially scheduled for ten hours on 10 September 2025 and had to be rescheduled due to unforeseen circumstances.

The work is still anticipated to last ten hours, from 08:00 until 18:00, and might result in a water supply interruption in the following streets in Waterkloof Ridge:

• East of Johann Rissik Drive
• West of Rigel Avenue North
• South of Albert Street
• North of Bootes Street

The City of Tshwane apologises for the inconvenience that may arise as a result of the above-mentioned 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.
