Coordinated, written and issued by the George Communication Department in the Office of the Municipal Manager

Please be reminded the George Municipality will not allow controlled burns or issue permits for controlled burns in the municipal area as of 1 December 2024.

A controlled burn permit is valid for 12 months from the date of issue but may not be used during the official fire season, which in the Western Cape is usually from November/December to February/March each year.

As a general measure, the municipality prefers that controlled burns are done for agricultural purposes (clearing fields for regrowth) only and NOT for biomass reduction – please consider alternatives such as chipping.

The municipality appeals to the public to always be fire aware, no matter what time of the year it is – please always exercise extreme caution, make fires in protected and designated areas only, and dispose of cigarette butts safely. Burning of garden refuse in residential areas is illegal.

Control burns with a valid permit will resume 1 April 2025 subject to the prevailing weather conditions. An updated notice will be issued by the George Municipality.

Please be advised that the Motor Vehicle Registration (MVR) offices in Hibernia and Blanco will close early at 12:00 on Friday, 6 December 2024, for a year-end function. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your understanding.

Unplanned Water Outage in Uniondale

There is an issue with the Uniondale Water Treatment Works.

Residents may experience low water pressure or no water, as the reservoir levels are low.

Municipal teams are on-site investigating the problem.

Residents are urged to use water sparingly.

George Municipality thanks residents for their patience and cooperation

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

The repair work is taking longer than expected due to the presence of major services (water, fiber, sewer, etc), making it difficult to excavate with a machine, thus all excavations was done by hand. The repairs will take approximately another 2 hours.

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

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

The water pipe burst at the intersection of Meade and Nelson Mandela Boulevard was repaired and water flow was restored.

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