It is with regret to advise that the Municipality has again experienced water interruptions affecting a number of areas in Grahamstown West.  This is as a result of a pipe burst near Worcester Street on Tuesday evening, the 1st of December 2009.

A 300mm bulk line supplying the Western areas burst due to immense pressure demand on it. This resulted in closing the water valves supplying the water to an Intermediate Reservoir which draws water from Waainek and consequently the water pressure was reduced and resulted in water interruptions.

Contingency measures have been put in place to draw water from James Kleynhans Dam and in the meantime the following areas are affected; Hill 60; Cradock Height, Kingswood and surrounding areas. Our technicians are dealing with the problem and we expect water to be restored in the near future.

On behalf of the Municipality, I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused.
