ST HELENA BAY: ESKOM ELECTRICITY INTERRUPTION AND SUBSEQUENT IMPACT ON WATER SUPPLY

The municipality has been informed of an ESKOM interruption in electricity supply that is affecting consumers in St Helena Bay. Consumers on some of the surrounding farms and areas in town are indirectly affected by an interruption of water supply from the reservoirs.

To mitigate the inconvenience in terms of access to water, the municipality is making water tankers available that will circulate in the area. We are also in the process to have generators operating at the reservoirs to allow for water to be pumped into the network.

The timeline of the Eskom interruption is not within our control. We regret the inconvenience.
