PROJECT:

Upgrading of Eden Sewer Pump Station

DESCRIPTION:

ELECTRICAL WORK AT EDEN SEWER PUMP STATION, GEORGE.

PLANNED CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES AT EDEN PUMP STATION:

A new Motor Control Centre (MCC) has been installed at the Eden Sewer Pump Station.

The electrical switchover must now be done to activate the newly installed MCC, and the pump station will not be operational during this process.

PERIOD FOR DISRUPTION IN SERVICES:

17 November from 20h00 to 18 November 8h00.

SERVICE DISRUPTION:

The public and residents in EDEN, DENVER PARK and LOERIE PARK are requested to use water very sparingly during this time and to discharge as little water as possible into the sewer network.

Please limit the flushing of toilets, washing clothes and dishes, and use water very sparingly when showering or bathing.

CONSTRUCTION IMPACT:

The Eden sewer pump station will not be operational for this period and all inflow to the pump station will have to be removed using suction tankers to prevent any spillage.

ACCESS TO THE SITE:

This is a construction site and may not be accessed by the public for health and safety control, and to prevent hindrance to the emergency work being executed.

ENQUIRIES: IX Engineers: 082 944 3654

The George Municipality apologises for any inconvenience that may be caused and thanks the residents and public for their cooperation to ensure the successful execution of the works

Rainfall for the month of October 2022 (George Tierkop Weather Station): 60.6mm
