Cape Town - Mitchells Plain and Mamre residents have been advised of water outages within their area over the coming days as the Cityâs Water and Sanitation Department carries out infrastructure maintenance.
Water supply in the Mamre area will be affected as the department will be installing a smart pressure-reducing valve on the main water supply on Wednesday, 7 April.
This will result in the disruption of the water supply from 11am until 5pm, affecting residents located between Charel Uys Drive and Silverstream Road.
âThis work should help reduce the likelihood of leaks and pipe bursts in the affected area in future. Smart pressure-reducing valves help prevent pressure fluctuation in the Cityâs water network, which can weaken pipes over time,â the City said.
