OPDATEER: Beskadigde waterpyp in Uniondale
Uitgereik deur George Munisipaliteit, 3 Maart 2025 @18:25

Uniondale en Lyonville ondervind vandag watertoevoeronderbrekings weens ‘n beskadigde waterpyp. Watertoevoer is vandag om 13:00 herstel, maar die reservoirvlakke het so gedaal dat daar sediment in die waterlyne is, wat verkleur/bruin water veroorsaak het.

Die reservoir word gevul en die munisipaliteit sal die sediment spoel sodra daar genoeg skoon water beskikbaar is. Intussen sal ‘n watertenkwa deur Lyonville rondswerf om skoon water aan inwoners te verskaf tot 21:00.
