George Municipality is pleased to confirm that the Gwaing River and River Mouth is OPEN for swimming and water activities after water quality tests indicate that the river’s water quality meets requirements. This follows a sewer spill caused by damage to a sewer pipeline by a service provider on 12 March. The damaged pipeline was repaired on the same day and the river was closed as a precautionary measure.

The public is advised that the Traffic Department, Pacaltsdorp, the Motor Vehicle Licencing (MVR) and Vehicle Testing Station (VTS) at Hibernia Street, as well as the Drive Through facility in Blanco are currently offline due to a national ENATIS problem.

No transactions can be processed at this time.

Due to the lower demand anticipated from tomorrow until the weekend, and an increase in available generation capacity, loadshedding will be suspended from 05:00 on Thursday until further notice.

George will be affected as follows:

ROTATIONAL SWITCH ON AFTER LOADSHEDDING
Consumers are reminded to PLEASE use electricity sparingly after power returns. Please do not switch high-usage equipment on immediately after Load shedding.
Consumers are urged to turn off high-usage equipment and where possible to not switch on appliances such as stoves and kettles for at least 30 minutes after load shedding is scheduled to return. This will reduce the risk of overload tripping on the network.

Reporting power outages
Please do not phone the after-hours number or the Electrotechnical Department to report that you have no power immediately after load shedding is scheduled to be lifted. Please be aware of the rotational switching on i.e. areas are switched on one by one and not all at the same time to avoid overloading the system. Please wait at least 30 minutes before reporting no power. The Electrotechnical Directorate will be aware of a possible substation trip that needs to be sorted out.

Uniondale water treatment plant is currently experiencing operational difficulties. Operational teams are attending to the problem. The area of Lyonville will experience water outages. A water truck will roam the area. The estimated time of repair is unknown at this stage.

SANRAL N2 TRAFFIC ADVISORY

Issued by George Municipality on behalf of SANRAL

Lane closures for N2 upgrade between Kraaibosch and Touw River

Western Cape, 21 February 2024 – Lane closures will be in place on the N2 section 7 from 27 February 2024, for the upgrade between Kraaibosch and Touw River on the Garden Route, the South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited (SANRAL) has announced.

For improved mobility and road safety, as well as to meet the demands of growing developments along the Garden Route, the existing N2 route and access roads will be upgraded by widening and/or reconstruction over the next 27 months.

Construction will be carried out in such a manner that two-way traffic will be maintained on part (half) of the road surface while work takes place on the remaining part of the road surface. However, necessary closures, over a maximum distance of 500m, could take place for short periods to ensure public safety, i.e., removal of vegetation or relocation of services which may endanger the traveling public.

“We appeal to road users to exercise caution, reduce speed and adhere to warning signs in the construction area and to be on the lookout for road construction workers at all times,” said David Le Cordeur, SANRAL’s Project Manager.

SANRAL apologises for any inconvenience caused. This is however a short-term inconvenience in the pursuit of long-term road safety upgrades, which will benefit all road users.
