Update: Genevafontein repairs completed

Repair work taking place on Monday 15 March. Update GEORGE NEWS - The repairs to the 600mm diameter raw water pipeline and the 800mm diameter Eastern water pipeline concluded just after 18:30 on Monday, 15 March.  Both pipelines were backfilled with sand to ensure they are bedded, i.e. secure in a place, and safe to open valves for water supply to both the Water Treatment Works and residential areas to resume. The Eastern Water pipeline (drinking water) has been supplying at full capacity since 22:00 last night, with most of the affected areas being supplied of drinking water, with the exception of the Blue Mountain Development (BMD). 

Repair work at Genevafontein almost completed

Repair work at Genevafontein has almost been completed. Update GEORGE NEWS - Heavy rainfall throughout the day has created several delays and made the repair work on the water main pipe at Genevafontein very challenging.  However, the private contractor has completed the dropping in of the replacement pipe, the couplings have been installed successfully and a bobcat is on site to ensure that a minimum layer of soil is placed, to support and cover the pipes before water flow can be entirely restored.  Once this has been completed, the valves will be reopened slowly and it is expected that it will take an additional few hours for water to have filled up the network sufficiently to restore full water pressure throughout the system.
