Our Water Maintenance Team is currently attending to a water pipe burst at the intersection of Meade and Hibernia Street, George CBD.

The repair work will take approximately 4 hours.

While attending to the above burst, another water pipe burst occured at the intersection of Meade and Nelson Mandela Boulevard. This section of damaged pipe was isolated, but due to the presence of major services (water, fiber, sewer, etc) it will be difficult to excavate with a machine, thus the expected time of repair is currently expected at 6-7 hours.

Some businesses/households in the affected area might experience low water pressure or no water.

A water truck will roam the area to provide potable water.

We apologize for any inconvenience as a result of this and thank the public for their patience.

If you witness any unsafe food handling or hygiene practices, please report it.

Unsafe food practices can lead to serious health risks, but with your help, we can create a safer environment for everyone.

York Street will be closed between Hibernia Street and the circle in front of the George Museum from 12:00 until 21h00 on Saturday, 7 December 2024 for the George Lights Festival at Unity Park.

Motorists should use alternative routes.

The northern lanes of the circle will remain open to traffic, being used as single lanes in both directions.

For any enquiries contact Festival Coordinator Khanyisile Fortuin on 044 802 2000 or Whatsapp on 073 364 0129 or email jfortuin@george.gov.za

The George Municipality wishes to alert the public to a housing subsidy scam currently in circulation.
Please note that the Municipality does not sell properties allocated to beneficiaries of housing projects. Furthermore, the Municipality will never request an upfront deposit for the purchase of such properties. Claims to the contrary are false, and posts sharing this misinformation on Facebook or other social media platforms are likely linked to a scam.

If you have responded to such posts or been approached by individuals regarding this matter, you are urged to immediately notify the George Municipality’s Human Settlements Department at 044 802 2003.

If a deposit has been paid, it is imperative to report the fraudulent activity and lodge a criminal complaint at your nearest SAPS office.
The George Municipality urges residents to remain vigilant and assist in combating these fraudulent activities.

George Municipality is aware of a failure on the pumpline between the Herold’s Bay Sewer Pump Station and the Waste Water Treatment plant. Suction services have been dispatched to contain the spill and a contractor is en route for repairs. The cleanup will be handled in terms of standard requirements.

The beach is however temporarily closed to swimming and surfing until further notice. We apologize for the inconvenience.
