Bruin gekleurde water in Haarlem

Die Die instandhoudingspan is tans besig by die Haarlem-reservoir om ‘n bruinwaterprobleem aan te spreek wat oornag ontstaan het.

Volgens ons Siviele Ingenieursdienste word die stelsel vanoggend gespoel. Verbruikers mag deur die loop van die dag laer waterdruk ondervind. Die Siviele Ingenieursdienste beveel aan dat inwoners vandag liewer nie die bruin water vir drinkdoeleindes gebruik nie, hoewel dit veilig is vir ander gebruike.

Verbruikers in Haarlem (met uitsluiting van Proteaville) mag bruin water in die stelsel opmerk. ’n Watertrok is ontplooi om drinkwater aan die geaffekteerde gebied te voorsien. Sodra die probleem opgelos is, sal die waternetwerk gespoel word om van die bruin water ontslae te raak.

Ons versoek verbruikers om water spaarsamig te gebruik en vra om verskoning vir enige ongerief terwyl ons die probleem oplos.

Discolored Water in Haarlem

Issued by George Municipality – 19 March 2025 at 06:20

The maintenance team is currently working at the Haarlem reservoir to address a discolored water issue that developed overnight.

According to our Civil Engineering Services, the system will be flushed this morning. Consumers may experience low water pressure throughout the day. The Civil Engineering Services department recommends that residents avoid using the discolored water for drinking purposes today, although it remains safe for other uses.

Consumers in Haarlem (excluding Proteaville) may notice discolored water in the system. A water truck has been deployed to provide drinking water to affected areas. Once the issue has been resolved, the water network will be flushed to remove any remaining discoloration.

We urge consumers to use water sparingly and apologise for any inconvenience while we resolve the issue.

PUBLIC NOTICE: Please Help Prevent Signage Theft & Vandalism

The George Municipality is deeply concerned about the ongoing removal, theft, and vandalism of road signage and delineators in areas where roadworks occur, particularly on weekends.

Tampering with or stealing road signage is a criminal offence and poses a serious safety risk to motorists, pedestrians, and workers. Missing or displaced signage can lead to accidents, injuries, and even fatalities. Replacing these essential safety measures to comply with the approved Traffic Management Plan incurs significant costs.

To address this issue, contractors conduct daily checks and over weekends to reinstate stolen or damaged signage. However, we need the public’s support to end this criminal activity.

We urge residents to report any incidents of theft or vandalism immediately to SAPS and George Municipality Law Enforcement at 044 801 6350 (or 044 801 6300 after hours). If it is safe to do so, capturing photos of the offenders in action can greatly assist in enforcement efforts.

Your cooperation is essential in safeguarding our infrastructure and ensuring road safety for everyone. Thank you for your support.

OPENBARE KENNISGEWING: Help asseblief om diefstal van tekens en vandalisme te voorkom
Uitgereik deur George Munisipaliteit, 17 Maart 2025

Die George munisipaliteit is diep bekommerd oor die voortdurende verwydering, diefstal en vandalisme van padtekens en afbakenings in gebiede waar padwerke voorkom, veral oor naweke.

Om met padtekens te peuter of te steel is ‘n misdaad en hou ‘n ernstige veiligheidsrisiko vir motoriste, voetgangers en werkers in. Ontbrekende of verplaasde tekens kan tot ongelukke, beserings en selfs sterftes lei. Die vervanging van hierdie noodsaaklike veiligheidsmaatreëls om aan die goedgekeurde verkeersbestuursplan te voldoen, hou aansienlike kostes in.

Om hierdie probleem aan te spreek, doen kontrakteurs daaglikse kontroles en oor naweke om gesteelde of beskadigde naamborde te herstel. Ons het egter die gemeenskap se ondersteuning nodig om hierdie misdrywe te beëindig.

Ons doen ‘n beroep op inwoners om enige voorvalle van diefstal of vandalisme onmiddellik by die polisie en George Munisipaliteit se Wetstoepassingsafdeling by 044 801 6350 of 044 801 6300 (na-ure) aan te meld. As dit veilig is om dit te doen, kan die neem van foto’s van die oortreders in aksie baie help met wetstoepassingspogings.

U samewerking is noodsaaklik om ons infrastruktuur te beskerm en padveiligheid vir almal te verseker. Dankie vir u ondersteuning.
