On Wednesday, 1 October 2025, the City of Tshwane Water and Sanitation Business Unit will replace faulty equipment along the Salvokop Reservoir water supply network.
The said work, which is expected to last for 12 hours from 08:00 until 20:00, will lead to a water supply interruption in Nellmapius Ext 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 22.
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.
