The City of Cape Town plans to temporarily shut off water to several areas of the City, while maintenance gets underway.
Residents are urged to store up water in advance as a precautionary measure, in clean, sealed containers for domestic use during this period.
First up is a water shutdown to Newry Street, Claremont and surrounding roads on Tuesday, 7 July from 10:00 to 12:00.
This is to determine which valves are operational.
The City also plans to shut off water supply temporarily to Vredekloof East, Morgenster and Morgenster Heights on Wednesday, 8 July 2026 from 09:00 to 16:00.
This will allow a City-appointed contractor to replace a 300mm valve feeding Morgenster and install a new valve on the City’s 200mm supply line feeding Morgenster Heights.
Some streets will experience low water pressure or no water, during this period.
Similarly, the City will temporarily shut off water supply to Fisantekraal on Wednesday, 8 July from 20:00 until Thursday, 9 July at 02:00 to repair a leak on a 200m water pipe in Klipheuwel Road.
Residents in this area will experience no water during this period.
The City will also close water supply temporarily to parts Paarden Eiland, on Thursday, 9 July from 09:00 to 18:00.
This will allow teams to replace a faulty valve.
Businesses in this area will experience no water during this period.
