The water and sanitation directorate will do a test shut-off on the 500mm water supply pipeline to the Mowbray and Rondebosch areas above and below the Main Road between Durban Road and Belmont Road

The City of Cape Town said this would enable the maintenance team to safely assess the water supply network in preparation for planning the actual shut-off required for repairs to the pipeline.

Some parts of these areas may have water at low pressure, while others may have no water. The Mowbray Maternity Hospital may be affected by the shut-off

Residents and businesses are urged to store enough water in advance as a precautionary measure. Water should ideally be stored in clean, sealed containers.
