Residents of Hammanskraal and the neighboring areas are notified that the Temba Water Purification Plant will be shut down on Friday, 30 July 2021 for necessary maintenance work by Eskom.
Director of Media Relations, Lindela L Mashigo said the power utility will conduct an emergency technical maintenance on its electrical components.
“It is unfortunate that the treatment plant uses electricity to pump water and thus, the pumping capacity of the plant will be compromised,” he said.
Mr Mashigo said, “The interruption period is from 07h45 until 18h00. All reservoirs will be filled to capacity before the shutdown.
“The affected areas are Temba, Hammanskraal, Dilopye, Majaneng, Unit 7, Sekampaneng, Refentse, Suurman, and Moretele Local Municipality.
“The City appeals to all residents to reserve and use water sparingly at all time. In addition, the City apologizes for the inconvenience that may arise as a result of this planned maintenance work,” he said.
