The pipe fittings to permanently fix the failed pipe arrived today. The external contractor and Municipal operational staff will isolate portions of the supply network to Blanco from tomorrow morning (Wednesday 6 July) between 7am – 6pm.

Adjustments will be made to the water network to ensure that the Blanco network has water and households receive water.

Public Notice: Free wood available

Issued by George Municipality, 4 July 2022

Members of the public are welcome to collect wood at Meade Str between Nelson Mandela Blvd & Victoria Rd intersections.

Members of the community are urged to stop vandalism of the Blanco’s water reservoir. We would like to issue a stern warning to the perpetrators to please stay away from our clean water storage reservoirs. It has come to our attention that the roofing sheets and reservoirs are being vandalized.

As we are intensifying our security, we would like to warn that intruders and offenders will be prosecuted since the reservoir is the property of the Municipality.

Vandalism is a crime and ultimately costs ratepayers’ money. Please report people tampering, painting, breaking, or stealing municipal property with the SAPS and George Municipality Law Enforcement (044 801 6350 or 044 801 6300 after hours) as soon as you see it happening. If you can take pictures of the culprits in the act without endangering yourself, it will help a lot. Thank you in advance for helping us protect our infrastructure.
