UPDATE 31: WILDERNESS WATER OUTAGE

George Municipality is aware of the ongoing water supply issues affecting Wilderness, Kleinkrantz, Hoekwil, and the surrounding areas. We thank everyone who alerted us this morning to which streets/areas remain without water.

The main supply line was reactivated yesterday afternoon, but the network continues not to fill as expected and water pressure remains too low. Water is flowing from Akela Reservoir to the Ebb and Flow Water Works, but is not reaching the Ebb and Flow reservoir which then gravity feeds to other reservoirs.

Teams have worked through last night and today to systematically move through the system, remove airlocks, and scour sections of the pipeline to check for blockages or any other causes of reduced pressure.

A water tanker will continue to roam through Kleinkrantz, the 35 000 litre water tanker is stationed at Kleinkrantz Resort and another tanker is stationed at Waves Garage, Wilderness East.
