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.
