George Municipality is aware of the ongoing low water pressure affecting Kingswood Golf Estate. Recently, the Municipal water team held a meeting with the management and maintenance team representatives of Kingswood Golf Estate to address these issues and provide updates on the situation.

The low pressure, typically experienced between 08:30 and 11:00, is believed to be caused by faulty valves in the network and increased water use during this timeframe. Efforts are ongoing to restore water pressure to acceptable levels. Residents can expect to see George Municipality teams around Longbridge Road working on the problem. As the low pressure is cyclical, the results of repairs will only be visible in the following days or a week after the repair and is affected by the daily use of water.

As the valves are checked and repaired, residents may experience temporary water loss or low pressure. Should the water outage be longer than 2 hours, or low pressure experienced, residents are urged to report the fault to the Complaints Desk on 044 801 6266/6262. This will assist the Municipality to pinpoint areas which require work, and where areas have improved after remedial measures.

The Municipality remains committed to resolving this issue and will continue to keep residents informed of any progress.

The cooperation of all users of municipal water is essential and is greatly appreciated.

A bullying prevention programme is currently being implemented for Grade 4 and 5 students at Pacaltsdorp Primary School. Many participants face challenges with reading and writing, which makes traditional worksheets difficult. To enhance learning activities, the programme under the leadership of the Community Development Department at George Municipality, seeks donations of old magazines.

These magazines will be utilised in hands-on activities where students can cut out pictures, allowing for engagement without the need for reading and writing. This visual approach will help teach essential social skills, such as empathy and kindness.

Your support will significantly contribute to modifying behaviours and fostering positive relationships among students. Thank you in advance for your generosity!

Community members are encouraged to drop off any magazines at the Community Development offices located at the corner of St John’s and Varing Avenue.
The contact person is Robyn Parks on 044 802 2000.
